This episode centers on the relaunch of an FFA program in Soda Springs and why ag education matters far beyond welding, livestock, or competitions. Tracy, Casey , Cade, and Mo sit down with Maddie, a first-year ag teacher and FFA advisor, to talk about rebuilding a chapter, serving students with and without ag backgrounds, and creating a classroom where kids feel welcome enough to stay. In this episode, we hear from Tracy, Casey, Cade, Mo, and Maddie, who each bring a different angle to the conversation: leadership, personal testimony, community support, and the practical realities of starting a program from scratch. The main themes are ag education, FFA culture, and the work it takes to give students confidence, skills, and belonging.

Key topics

• In this episode: Maddie shares how she grew up around agriculture in Twin Falls, got involved through horses and FFA, and eventually studied agricultural education with a journalism minor at the University of Idaho.
• Cade explains the difference between 4-H and FFA, especially how FFA builds networking, public speaking, leadership, and long-term relationships that last well beyond high school.
• The group breaks down what it means to recharter an FFA chapter and why timing mattered in Soda Springs, since waiting too long would have meant starting the whole charter process over.
• Maddie talks through the realities of restarting the classroom space, including cleaning out the shop, replacing countertops, repainting, and creating a room students actually want to walk into.
• Tracy connects the chapter rebuild to CTE, student engagement, and the larger community effort needed to make a program sustainable.
• Cade shares a personal story about how a strong ag teacher changed his life, helped him grow into leadership, and pushed him into opportunities he never would have chosen on his own.
• The episode spends a lot of time on how FFA reaches different kinds of students, including kids without an ag background, quiet students, and students who need a place to belong.
• Maddie explains career development events, leadership development events, supervised agricultural experience projects, and how those pieces turn classroom learning into real-world skills.
• The conversation also covers funding basics, including jacket costs, labor exchange work opportunities, travel expenses, and how the community can help without just writing checks.
• The episode closes with optimism about the chapter’s growth, early student turnout, and the hope that FFA becomes a lasting part of Soda Springs again.

Let's Start a Ruckus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back to The Small Town Ruckus. Today we're sitting down with Cole Garbett and his dad Clay — a shot put thrower out of Soda Springs who's been turning heads on the high school circuit. Cole's got the kind of story that reminds you why the fundamentals never go out of style: hours of deliberate practice, a strong mental game, and a clear vision of where he wants to go next.

We're talking about what it takes to compete at the high school level, and the mindset that separates good athletes from great ones.

This is a conversation about grit, craft, and chasing something bigger than the last PR.

Let's get into it.
