McCracken County High School FFA members attended the Paducah Area Chamber of Commerce Power in Partnership Breakfast this morning.
The March breakfast was sponsored by Four Rivers Nuclear Partnership with speaker Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Jonathan Shell.
A fifth-generation farmer, Commissioner Shell, alongside his dad Gary, owns and operates Shell Farms and Greenhouses in Garrard County where they raise cattle and grow flowers, corn, and pumpkins.
Before being elected Agriculture Commission, Shell was elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives in 2012, becoming the youngest member of the General Assembly. Before the 2016 election, he was tapped by Republican leadership to spearhead recruitment. It was that year Kentucky elected its first Republican House Majority in nearly 100 years.
FFA Members also went to the McCracken County Courthouse to help Commissioner Shell promote the Ag Tag program. When farmers renew their Ag Tags, a $10 donation goes to 4-H and FFA students all over the state.
