Florida agriculture starts young in barns before sunrise, at the end of a halter, and through lessons learned caring for animals day after day. From show rings to fairgrounds, these kids are growing more than livestock… they’re growing responsibility, pride, and a lifelong love for agriculture. 🐄🌱
As we honor 250 years of America, we’re celebrating the traditions and youth who help keep agriculture thriving for generations to come. 🇺🇸
Did showing livestock or growing up around agriculture shape your story? Share your memories in the comments! We’d love to spotlight them. 💬👇
