William Kellum of the Jefferson City FFA Chapter in Georgia owns half of Mason and Kellum Lawn Services, a company with 65 residential and commercial clients. What began as simply mowing lawns has turned into a full-service lawn care business including mowing, edging, weed control and more. Kellum has learned how to market his business and has also developed management skills, hiring ten student employees to work seasonally to assist in peak times of the year. He is supported by his FFA advisors, Melissa Webb and David Galloway. This award is sponsored by Briggs and Stratton Corporation, Inc. and Tractor Supply Company.
