That advice comes from former Redfield, South Dakota FFA member Travis Hoffman. As a freshman on the crops judging team, Hoffman and his colleagues were challenged by the chapter president to make it into the top three at the state convention. “We made it and that was fun and rewarding.” Hoffman grew up on a third generation Corriedale sheep farm. After graduating high school, Hoffman attended South Dakota State University and Colorado State University to focus on animal science. Hoffman now works as the NDSU and University of Minnesota Extension sheep specialist. He is still involved with FFA, helping with North Dakota’s Career Development Events. “I work closely with the North Dakota FFA Organization as we develop the livestock evaluation CDE’s that we have in March in Minot.” Hear the story.
