Austin Davis of the Dassel-Cokato FFA Chapter in Minnesota works on his family’s sixth generation dairy farm. When he began working, he set several goals. First, he wanted to increase the survival rate for the farm’s milk-fed calves, eventually reaching a 96 percent survival rate. He also increased overall dry matter intake per cow by 2.4 pounds a day. Davis is pursuing a degree in agronomy because he feels that’s how he can best serve the family farm. He is supported by his parents Carol Davis and C. Loring and his FFA advisor Eric Sawatzke.
