Charlie J. Miller of the Miami Trace FFA Chapter in Ohio took over his father’s firewood business as an SAE. He harvests and sells dead and nuisance trees from his family’s 1,400-acre farm. Removing these trees improves crop production in areas along fence rows by reducing the competition for nutrients. Besides continuing the firewood business, he also plans to start his own landscaping operation. He is supported by parents Doug and Anita Miller and FFA advisors Bruce Bennett and Tracy Dendinger. This award is sponsored by John Deere and RAM Trucks.
