National Proficiency Winner: Forage Production—Entrepreneurship/Placement

Blake Kirchhoff of the Superior FFA Chapter in Nebraska owns and operates a custom swathing and baling business. In 2014, he started baling for the family farm and selling its hay. Through advertising at local businesses, he’s been able to pick up more acres and clients. Blake eventually added a swather to his operation so he could easily take on a 500-acre job. He’s also purchased a John Deere 4255 tractor. He is supported by his parents, Cindy and Matthew, and his FFA advisor, Seth Going. This award is sponsored by Claas of America.
