Off-Farm Income
How about sub-contracting as a corporate pilot as your form of off-farm income? Seem impossible? I would have thought it was unrealistic until I interviewed today's guest, Andrew Ambrose.

As Andrew put it, it would not be uncommon to see him flying a corporate customer across the country in the morning and driving a combine that evening.

Jenna is a very competitive person, and upon joining the FFA she found that this organization served her competitive spirit very well. Through a myriad of different contests and competitions, she found exactly...
