Garrett Slagell of the Hydro-Eakly FFA Chapter in Oklahoma has been involved in all stages of production on his family farm for as long as he can remember. One of the specialty crops on the farm are ornamental gourds. Sitting on 60 acres, the gourds are planted in April and harvested in October. Slagell’s tasks include planting, harvesting, packaging and shipping. He is supported by his parents, Kendra and Chris and his FFA advisor, Chris Klaassen. Sponsored by National FFA Foundation & National FFA Organization.
