Engaging Youth

Our operation needs youth involvement. If we fail to engage our children in the love of producing food for others this farm will become like the farms of our neighbors grown in sweet gum and pines or worse developed into a sterile subdivision devoid of life giving grass, clover, and forbs grown for sheep, goats, and cattle. Our land has provided food for fellow Americans for over eighty years from our family. We have raised chicken in broiler houses from Goldkist. My great grandfather raised record corn crops. We still have the picture from the newspaper of Ed Garrett being the first recorded farmer to produce one hundred bushel per acre corn. My mother, Vesta, and wife, Andi, have grown fruits and vegetables for our families. My father, uncle Roy, and grandfather Rhudy Ayers produced milk for our land in Carrollton, GA. I am thankful to say my daughters Amelia, Anna, and Aliyah have produced lamb and goats from our farm to feed our fellow families. Our son, Asher, produces honey from his hives that our neighbors and family have enjoyed. Pray with me that our Lord God Almighty would call others to grow food for our fellow man so that American can continue to feed our fellow man and those in great need throughout the world.
