ROTM | Weston Brown on Farming, Leadership & the Future of Rural Tennessee

In this episode, we sit down with former Tennessee State FFA President Weston Brown to discuss his journey through agricultural leadership, his aspirations to work in the political world, and his commitment to carrying on his family’s fifth-generation beef cattle farm in Greene County, Tennessee. Weston shares what it was like serving as Tennessee’s State FFA President, the lessons leadership taught him, and why he believes young people must stay involved in shaping the future of agriculture and rural communities. We also dive into the realities facing young farmers today — from rising input costs and land prices to the pressure of rapid development threatening family farms across Tennessee.
