CHANDLER, Okla. (RFD News) — Oklahoma FFA member Cooper Kline is one of four finalists for the American Star Farmer award.
Kline, a member of the North Rock Creek FFA Chapter, joined us on Monday’s FFA Today to discuss the honor and his supervised agricultural experience.
In his conversation with RFD News, Kline said his SAE grew from a few sows into an operation with nearly 30 that now sells pigs nationwide. He hopes to eventually grow the operation to around 50 sows.
Kline, who previously served as Oklahoma FFA state president, will represent the state on the national stage at this fall’s National FFA Convention.
