Joanna Frankenberg of the New Bremen FFA Chapter in Ohio works on her family’s dairy farm, assisting in the management of a 120 Holstein cow herd and an additional 120 heifers. They also farm 480 acres of land, including corn, grass hay, soybeans, and wheat – all of which goes directly into feeding and caring for the herd. Frankenberg started helping on the farm at the age of five. She’s learned much about emerging technology related to the farm, including robotic management, no-till, and more.
She is supported by her parents, Kathryn and Steven, and her FFA advisor, Maria Homan. Sponsored by Kuhn North America.
