Sonny has always had a love for farming. From raising animals as a kid to being active in FFA as a high schooler, he was always amazed watched animals and plants grow into what they were intended to be.
This is a newspaper clip from 1983. When Sonny reflects back on his time in FFA, he is really thankful for Mr. Leo Hall and Mr. Russell Brooks who cultivated a love for farming in him and helped him become the farmer that he is today.
