14th Annual Farm City Breakfast

Presented by Lifeline Foods

In honor of National Ag Day, the St. Joseph Agribusiness Committee, a sub-committee of the St. Joseph Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with local sponsors, is hosting the 14th Annual Farm City Breakfast. The breakfast is being held to recognize the significant contribution of agriculture to the area economy.

Breakfast 7:00 a.m. - Program 7:45 a.m.

Word of Life Church, 3902 NE Riverside Road, St. Joseph, MO

Guest Speaker: Erica Baier, National FFA Secretary

Baier was elected to the 2017-18 National FFA Officer Team as secretary at the 90th National FFA Convention & Expo. Majoring in agricultural education, Baier is a junior at Iowa State University.

Baier served as the Iowa south central state vice president in 2015-16. While in high school, she had three supervised agricultural experience (SAE) areas, including vegetable production, beef production, and agricultural education. In her vegetable production entrepreneurship, she planted, raised, and marketed pumpkins, gourds, and other various cucurbits. Using an acre of land, Baier learned to better manage EB Pumpkins by planting multiple varieties of seed to meet customer needs, applying herbicide and fungicide, and implementing new marketing plans as a business grows. Through working with a range of customers and personalities, she understands the value of communicating the story of her operation to build relationships, trust and gain repeat customers as a result.

"Through my year of service, I hope to have our members and supporters understand their value in our organization, in agriculture and in their communities overall,” Baier says. “Each of us has such unique gifts, abilities, and strengths. I’m excited to use mine to help others understand how they can use theirs to create the biggest impact wherever they may be.”

Special Guest: U. S. Congressman Sam Graves

Congressman Sam Graves is a lifelong resident of Missouri's Sixth Congressional District. As a small businessman and a sixth-generation family farmer, Sam has spent his life working to make Missouri a better place to live, work, and raise a family.

In Congress, Sam serves as Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Highways and Transit. This committee oversees the development of a national transportation policy and focuses on improving America’s highway system. As chairman, Sam continues to work on behalf of Missouri’s 34,000 highway miles and 10,400 bridges in need of maintenance and repair.

Sam is also a member of the House Committee on Armed Services. Missouri has a $15 billion military footprint and plays a critical role in ensuring our troops have the resources they need. Sam remains determined to protect Missouri’s various military installations and all of the brave men and women who serve in uniform.

Congressman Graves was born in Tarkio, Missouri on November 7, 1963. He graduated from Tarkio High School in 1982 and attended college at the University of Missouri-Columbia, where he received his degree in Agronomy from the School of Agriculture.

In 1992, Sam won his first race for State Representative. In 1994, he was elected State Senator for the 12th Senatorial District and was subsequently re-elected in 1998.

Sam’s leadership has been recognized by organizations like the Missouri Chamber of Commerce, the Missouri Farm Bureau, the Missouri Hospital Association and the National Federation of Independent Businesses. As a father, farmer, businessman, and former State legislator, Sam knows the values, hopes, and beliefs of the hard-working people of the Sixth District, and will continue to work tirelessly for Missouri families in the United States House of Representatives.
