Ava Jane Teasley is majoring in agricultural communications.  She states that she wants to be the voice of the farmer.  After learning about her unique upbringing, I can see why.  Ava Jane's mother worked at an FFA camp when Ava was a kid.  So, she grew up at that camp, where they lived.  She saw and participated in the fun and growth that the older FFA kids experienced when they came there.I always ask my FFA student guests how long they have been part of the FFA.  Ava Jane's answer was unique, when she told me "all of my life".  Succeeding in the FFA was something that she was born to do, and she has certainly shown herself capable by becoming her chapter's secretary and the vice president of the Georgia State Officer Team as well as a national finalist in agricultural communications.SUPERVISED AGRICULTURAL EXPERIENCE: Agricultural CommunicationsHIGH SCHOOL: Eastside High School; Covington, GeorgiaMASCOT: EaglesFFA ADVISOR: Katrina PollardCONTACT INFORMATION FOR AVA JANE TEASLEY:Click on the picture below to be taken to the Eastside High School Website:Ava Jane's FFA Advisor's Email Address: pollard.catrina@newton.k12.ga.usEastside High School Telephone Number: 770-784-2920FFA LINKS:National FFA OrganizationSupervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE's)Support FFA Donate to FFA - One way that FFA students are able to start small businesses is through an FFA grant of $1,000.  In 2014, 141 FFA students received these grants.  With your donations, more students can get this head start - pay it forward.REASONS TO DONATE TO FFA: 	Only 2% of Americans grow and raise most of the food and livestock consumed by the other 98% as well as the rest of the world.  FFA is providing the needed education, training and resources to Americans that will carry that torch forward and insure that America continues to have inexpensive, quality food. 	Rural Communities will rely on entrepreneurship in the future for population growth and job creation.  The FFA is a major catalyst to that entrepreneurial growth. 	Farmers, ranchers and those working in agriculture give the rest of America incredible amounts of freedom because the search for food is as simple as going to the grocery store:“The future of American agriculture depends on the involvement and investment in America’s youth, In order to prepare for the population of tomorrow, we need to encourage America’s youth today, and show that careers in agriculture are profitable, rewarding, and vital.”.U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Sonny PerdueWhere Off-Farm Income And Matt Brechwald Can Be Heard:Member Of The National Association Of Farm Broadcasters
