From Barn to Bestseller: Her Story Will Shock You

New episode release 🎙️✨ This week, we’re sitting down with Ayla Tolentino—a 2026 Ag Author of the Year whose journey in agriculture started with simple curiosity and grew into something truly impactful. 🌱📚 From exploring her friends’ dairy cows to developing a national-winning ag science fair project on whether expired seeds are trash or treasure, Ayla has always asked questions that matter. That same passion led her to create educational resources, such as her “Ag in My State” workbook, to help students connect with agriculture in meaningful, real-world ways. In this episode, Ayla shares how agriculture shaped her path, how storytelling became her platform, and why investing in ag education is so important for the next generation. Her story is a reminder that big ideas can start small and that agriculture has the power to inspire, educate, and transform. 🌾💡 Listen now and get inspired. #YouthInAg #FFA #AgEducation #PodcastRelease Be sure to follow us on social media to stay up to date!
