Having grown up riding tractors with his father on the family farm, Tysen Rosenau of the Carrington FFA Chapter in North Dakota did not hesitate to start his SAE by planting 160 acres of hard red spring wheat. The following year, he increased production to 220 acres and rotated to corn production. Rosenau has gained knowledge of seeding, fertilizing, pest control, harvesting and marketing. He plans to increase his operation to 900 tillable acres this year and looks forward to diversifying crop operation. Rosenau is supported by parents Daniel and Sue Rosenau and FFA advisor Missy Hansen. This award is sponsored by CF Industries, Inc. and Valent USA Corporation.
