Justin Meyers of the Forreston FFA chapter in Illinois introduces his diversified farming operation as an American Star Farmer finalist, detailing his corn, soybean, and hay crops along with his sheep and steer livestock. He shares how he began farming at age seven, gradually expanded his acreage including buying his great-grandfather's farm, and overcame challenges like managing a major acreage increase and securing an operating loan. He credits his parents and FFA advisor for his growth and outlines future plans to complete an ag business degree and take over the family farm.
