Fruit Production—Entrepreneurship/Placement Callie Brooke Warren—Georgia

Callie Brooke Warren of the Lowndes County FFA Chapter in Valdosta, Ga., works on her family farm, helping to produce, process and market 50 acres of blueberries. Beginning her placement, she was given simple tasks like mowing between the rows to prevent the grass and weeds from over-growing the blueberry plants. Eventually, she took on more such as spraying herbicide, keeping records, and learning how to operate the necessary equipment. Warren is supported by her parents, Amy and Kevin, and her FFA advisors, Dr. James Corbett, Quinton Hadsock and Michael Barnes. This award is sponsored by the DuPont Company.
