When he was a freshman, Todd Peterson of the Miami Trace FFA Chapter in Sabina, Ohio, got the opportunity to take over a quarter of his family’s wheat and straw business. The project was successful and he decided to expand his operation. In 2017, he grew 212 acres of corn, 93 acres of soybeans and 23 acres of wheat. Learning from the wisdom of his family and other retiring farmers, Peterson has used both traditional and modern farming methods to succeed in his industry. He is supported by his FFA advisors, Bruce Bennett, Wendi Mizer Stachler and Amanda Swigert. This award is sponsored by CHS Foundation.
