FALL 2022

at least 50 hours of community service. In June our intern Brittany was recognized as part of the 1% to receive her American degree this fall in Indiana. Throughout Brittany’s high school career, she focused on swine production placement and entrepreneurship SAE. During the first 2 years of her SAE, she worked on her family’s farm and took care of the show pig operation that her family operates under the guidance of her father. For the last 2 years of her SAE, her father promoted her to barn manager of the show pig operation and allowed her to run it by herself. During these 4 years, she learned the importance of proper barn management, how to care for the overall well-being of the pigs, and how to help her family to improve their operation. Completing all these tasks on her fami ly’s farm, she was able to work toward her goal of completing and becoming one of the 1% to earn this degree. Brittany expressed the happiness she felt when finding out she is now a member of the excluvsive 1% and that all of her hard work over the past 4 years had finally paid off. Brittany credits all of her leadership and people skills she has to the FFA organization. She believes all of the opportunities she has been given, including becoming the intern at the North Carolina SweetPotato Commission have everything to do with the educational opportunities she received through the National FFA organization. The NCSPC Office Team could not be more proud of her! Congratulations on earning your American Degree Brittany!
