Augustus C. Holt of the LaRue County FFA Chapter in Kentucky works in a logging operation with his father. He has several responsibilities, including cutting logs to size, loading logs onto the truck, pulling logs in the skidder or dozer, clearing creek beds, and maintaining equipment. In order to legally cut roads and drag logs, loggers have to prevent erosion and keep waterways clean. After finishing his service with the Marine Corps Reserves, Holt plans to get a degree in forestry from the University of Kentucky.
He is supported by his parents, Cara and Matthew and his FFA advisors Misty Bivens and Chris Thomas. Sponsored by John Deere.
