Jeana Curtis was born and raised in La Plata in #Agri-Ready Designated Macon County without an agriculture background. She joined the La Plata FFA Chapter when it was chartered in 2012. Thanks to agriculture leadership opportunities through FFA, she fell in love with agriculture her sophomore year. The agriculture industry is not often known for its pomp and circumstance, but the POWER of pageantry has been a part of Curtis’s unique agriculture journey.
“The results are not immediate, but it is well worth your time to invest in the youth of agriculture,” says Cathy Baker, a cattle and row crop farmer from #Agri-Ready Designated Macon County near Atlanta, Mo. Baker has been instrumental in building and advancing agricultural opportunities for 4-H and FFA members in Macon County. Her decades of dedication prove that there is power in mentorship.
