Hayden Holdgrafer of the Easton Valley FFA Chapter in Iowa began his supervised agricultural experience (SAE) by renting acres to grow corn, soybeans and hay. The scope of his projects grew each year along with the number of acres he rented. He feels blessed that his SAE has earned him financial footing, agronomic knowledge and life lessons. Holdgrafer is supported by his parents, Keri and Brian, and his FFA advisor, Steven Eskildsen.
Learn more about Holdgrafer’s vision for his future in production agriculture and his perspective on the greatest challenges facing the agriculture industry in an interview with Broadcast Desk Intern, Lydia Johnson.
