In this episode, Caralyne talks with Chad Thompson, a service technician at Farmers RECC and volunteer firefighter. Chad shares the surprising similarities between linework and firefighting and opens up about how he juggles these two critical roles while managing life on the farm. From storm response to fire calls, Chad is a testament to our Cooperative principle "Commitment to Community" and embodies the dedication and resilience of the cooperative spirit. 

This month, we caught up with former Washington Youth Tour delegate, Emma Sanders, to discuss the opportunities and connections she gained through the program. 

Emma offers an inside look at her experience, from her time at the Frankfort Youth Tour learning about state government, to her week-long trip in Washington D.C., and updates us on how those experiences are informing her studies at Lindsey Wilson University.
