Jake Keith Bobo of the Baker FFA Chapter in Baker City, Ore., has been doing his SAE since the third grade. As a fourth-generation beekeeper, he bought his first pallet of bees with money he got from mowing lawns. In one year, his bees travel from California to Idaho to Washington and on to Montana before returning to Oregon. Bobo sells the honey he extracts before ending a production year with his bees. He is supported by his parents, Carolyn and Keith, and his FFA advisor, Bibiana Gifft. This award is sponsored by the National FFA Foundation and National FFA Organization.
