Peter Bliss of the Merced-Golden Valley FFA Chapter in California was operating tractors and harvesters by the sixth grade. The family operation grows cotton, corn, wheat and almonds. When he entered high school, he inherited thirty acres of his own and began leasing more. He has farmed 212 acres of Alcala cotton, 75 acres of Durum wheat, and 60 acres of Monterey/Carmel almonds. Bliss is supported by his parents, Jeannie and Michael, and his FFA advisors, Vikki Davis, Coby Jacobsen, Karl Montague, John Olson, Madison Zittel and Rebecca Mendonza. Valent USA sponsors this proficiency.
He shares more with Broadcast Desk Intern Michelle Stangler.
