This year&#8217;s winner is Central Valley resident Peter Bliss. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Farming is a family business for many, but for folks like Peter Bliss, it\u2019s more than that \u2014 it\u2019s a lifelong dream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI definitely am going to farm for the rest of my life,\u201d Bliss said. \u201cI was about six years old when I told myself I was going to farm, and that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been doing ever since.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bliss is a member of Merced-Golden Valley FFA in central California, and his supervised agricultural experience (SAE) project sees him farming cotton, almonds and wheat. He started with only 30 acres inherited from his grandfather, but his operation has since grown to exactly 417 acres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a fifth-generation Bliss farmer,\u201d he said. \u201cWe started in the 1880s \u2026 and I want to continue this tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Specifically, Peter has 212 acres for cotton, 105 acres for almonds and 100 acres for wheat. Most of his land is rented, he said, but he wants to own it all someday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the future, Bliss plans to expand his operation by planting new kinds of crops in addition to his usual big three. In fact, he said he\u2019s already planted corn silage just recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI plan to diversify a little bit more, get into other crops like corn and hay,\u201d Bliss said. \u201cI\u2019d like to grow in size. That\u2019d be really nice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although his SAE is successful now, Peter said he had a rocky start with FFA. He wasn\u2019t satisfied with the program at his first high school, so he moved to a different high school between his sophomore and junior years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI just wasn\u2019t comfortable inside the ag program,\u201d Bliss said. \u201cI\u2019d say I switched [schools] solely for the purpose of FFA, and then my opportunities took off.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He didn\u2019t build his SAE alone, though. He said his biggest supporters are his family, his FFA advisor Cody Jacobsen, and a family friend named Scott Apupel \u2014 or, as Bliss likes to call him, \u201cDad Number Two.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For FFA members starting their own SAE, his best advice is to give it your all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to put in 100 percent effort,\u201d Bliss said. \u201cYou can\u2019t come in competing in an SAE contest \u2026 only doing 50 percent effort and trying to get 100 percent out of it. It just doesn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Morning Ag Clips The American Star Awards, including American Star Farmer, American Star in Agribusiness, American Star in Agricultural Placement and American Star in Agriscience, are presented to FFA members who demonstrate outstanding agricultural skills and competencies through completion &hellip;
