I can't work with

with small animals,

'cause I can't just go 
from nothing to large,

00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,566
>>And its crazy, because 
I remember there were days

130
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,233
when I could only 
remember 3 words or-

131
00:06:22,266 --> 00:06:25,400
or that I understood, and 
it was hard, it was hard,

132
00:06:25,433 --> 00:06:27,866
but when I started 
high school that's when

133
00:06:27,900 --> 00:06:31,533
I stepped into agriculture 
and when I stepped in,

134
00:06:31,566 --> 00:06:34,133
my adviser, 
she took me right in,

135
00:06:34,166 --> 00:06:36,166
and it doesn't matter 
what my skill level was,

136
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,733
it doesn't matter where I-

137
00:06:37,766 --> 00:06:39,966
how much I can do, 
or my ability...

138
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,300
So that was my first time 
seeing hands-on activities,

139
00:06:42,333 --> 00:06:43,666
like dissecting the pigs,

140
00:06:43,700 --> 00:06:45,466
and- and doing all 
these activities

141
00:06:45,500 --> 00:06:49,166
where I can actually 
experience that effort

142
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,866
and all the ways to do 
different things that

143
00:06:51,900 --> 00:06:53,933
I need to know how to do,

144
00:06:53,966 --> 00:06:56,300
so after that I just 
learned it so fast,

145
00:06:56,333 --> 00:07:00,000
I took another step by 
just taking opportunities

146
00:07:00,033 --> 00:07:03,133
such as competitions and, 
I found out about FFA,

147
00:07:03,166 --> 00:07:05,600
so I started to 
excel from there and

148
00:07:05,633 --> 00:07:07,333

of weeks about,

513
00:23:36,566 --> 00:23:38,833
'How is your soil 
warrior working?

514
00:23:38,866 --> 00:23:41,100
Do you find that 
it is beneficial?

515
00:23:41,133 --> 00:23:42,733
What about fuel savings?'

516
00:23:42,766 --> 00:23:46,900
And all for the really good 
questions that farmers and

517
00:23:46,933 --> 00:23:50,833
people just associated with 
water quality want to know.

518
00:23:50,866 --> 00:23:53,033
>>Talking with other 
farmers about conservation

519
00:23:53,066 --> 00:23:54,666
is important to Dave.

520
00:23:54,700 --> 00:23:56,666
He also works with 
student scientists

521
00:23:56,700 --> 00:23:58,733
at St. Olaf College 
in Northfield

522
00:23:58,766 --> 00:24:01,433
studying runoff 
from farm fields.

523
00:24:01,466 --> 00:24:04,700
>>I've come to realize that 
if we do things that enhance

524
00:24:04,733 --> 00:24:08,566
water and soil quality, 
it's more profitable.

525
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,933
And it's better 
for the environment.

526
00:24:11,966 --> 00:24:14,066
>>Dave says confronting 
environmental challenges

527
00:24:14,100 --> 00:24:17,300
like soil erosion and 
chemical runoff is critical

528
00:24:17,333 --> 00:24:20,466
to the long-term success 
of American agriculture.

529
00:24:20,500 --> 00:24:22,700
>>I don't think 
we need to fear that

530
00:24:22,733 --> 00:24:25,400
our world will grow hungry

531
00:24:25,433 --> 00:24:29,300
as long as we have the 
American farmer on board.

532
00:24:29,333 --> 00:24:33,066
But that also carries with it 
the awesome responsibility

533
00:24:33,100 --> 00:24:38,266
of increasing production 
to tremendous levels

534
00:24:38,300 --> 00:24:41,000
and doing so in a 
sustainable way.
