Davis Howell is a 2023 National Proficiency Winner in the category of Swine Production - Entrepreneurship. He has been raising and showing pigs for the bulk of his life, starting in the 4H and continuing into the FFA while staying dually enrolled in the 4H. He is also in his senior year of high school and is serving as his chapter's president.
The farm that Davis lives on has been producing show pigs for three generations, starting with his grandfather and passing down all the way to he and his brother. Today, Davis and his brother are taking over the business with plans to start selling pigs to other exhibitors in the future. For the moment Davis' goals in the FFA include finishing out his senior year of high school, getting his American Degree after he starts college and pursuing a career in the animal science/ag business field. Davis has been exposed to a lot of career fields in agriculture already through a 4H competition that he talks about in the interview, and it definitely has given him a head start.
