Special Report

National FFA Star Farmer

For 20-year old Clayton Carley – it all started with a small sweet corn field and has now developed into what is now a few hundred acres of corn and soybeans.  He started working for the same reasons many others enter the workforce at an early age – to earn money for a car and his college education.

Clayton has a love for crop science and now conducts extensive research to determine best management practices.

He says FFA played a large part in shaping his sound business practices as well as contributing his entrepreneurial spirit.

He is the son of Kenton and Lisa Carley and was a member of Cissna Park FFA in Illinois. His advisor was Jeff Clifton.
