March 30, 2015

Travis Smith from Jay has been named the 2015 Florida Peanut Producers Young Peanut Farmer of the Year.

A fifth generation farmer, he started his farming career as a youngster when he could barely see over the steering wheel of his father’s tractor. Several years ago he was a recipient of a scholarship from the Peanut Producers Association.  Today, he still assists his father while farming over 200 acres of his own and managing a small herd of cattle.

Travis is married to Brittany Smith and they have three children: Leah, Lexie, and Tate.   Travis is a member of the Florida Peanut Producers Association and is active in the Young Farmers and Ranchers program.  Travis and his family are members of the Century Church of Christ.

    Folks, this is another example for many young people to follow. Dedication, direction, high work ethic, moral and spiritual values.

    These values can be applied to older or more mature citizens as well.
