OFI 1585: Planning Your Farming Future When There Will Be No Water | FFA SAE Edition | Jay McClure | Hugoton High School FFA

Jay McClure is a 2022 National Proficiency Winner in the category of Forage Production. This is the result of Jay's efforts on his families farm taking over responsibility for hay production under several center pivots. Jay is now a full-time farmer and has chosen this path as his career for the rest of his life. Jay is faced with a unique problem. The family farm has been in the family for over 100 years, and during that time it has grown more and more reliant on irrigation. Jay and his family pump water from the Ogallala Aquifer, which is running out of water. Jay believes that the farm will not run out of water before his father retires, however he does believe that the aquifer will be exhausted before he is ready to retire. So, in addition to the everyday challenges of production agriculture, Jay is faced with what to do when the time comes and how to continue an over 100 year tradition in face of losing a precious resource.
