Luke SchillingStar Agribusiness Finalist

Luke Schilling of the Eastern Hancock FFA Chapter in Charlottesville, Indiana, shares his journey as a finalist for the American Star in Agribusiness. His SAE centered on Big Doug's Secret Seasoning, a family recipe named after his grandfather that he turned into a business, with proceeds going to charitable organizations through his nonprofit, Season of the Day. He discusses scaling his business through a website, farmers markets, and a health-certified kitchen, the mentors who supported him, and how FFA prepared him to give back to causes like FFA, 4-H, World Vision, and Compassion International.
