A fourth-generation farmer, Jakob Weinheimer of the Claude FFA Chapter in Texas started helping on the farm before he was nine years old, given the task of operating the grain cart. The family operation has 8,000 acres, much of which is devoted to corn, wheat, millet and milo. Weinheimer regularly maintains the equipment and, during harvest, continues to operate the grain cart.
He is supported by his parents, Samantha and Jarret and his advisors, Jessica Koetting and Garrett Scitern. Sponsored by Wilbur-Ellis Company.
