Hunter Lindgren, is a junior at Odebolt-Arthur/Battle Creek-Ida Grove. He is the son of Scott and Stacy Lindgren and a member of the school’s FFA chapter.

1.) Why FFA?:

To learn about agriculture and its fun; It is fun because I get to do farm related things with my friends. FFA has taught me leadership needed to be successful in my own farming operation some day.

2.) FFA project:

I have done soil judging twice. I also enjoy crop scouting because it give me an opportunity to learn about crops, different types of pests, and increases my overall knowledge of crop production

3.) I’ve learned:

In FFA I have learned responsibility for coming to meetings on time, being ready to help with the test plot, practicing for soil judging and crop scouting, etc. I have also learned leadership through FFA. I am now one of the upperclassmen in our chapter and it is my job to help encourage our younger members.

4.) Career path:

After high school I plan on farming corn and soybeans while raising cattle. FFA has helped teach me good production practices to encourage a sound cattle operation as well as financial advice in ag business.

5.) College plans:

I plan on attending a 2 year college in Iowa for ag business or ag studies to help prepare me for my own farming operation

6.) FFA activities:

I participated in soil judging twice as well as crop scouting. I have attended state convention in 2013 and help with many of the volunteer opportunities that our chapter has.
