When your BBQ guy has a pretty impressive résumé…

A HUGE thank you to Dr. David Newman for spending his Saturday smoking ribs and pulled pork for our Couch FFA BBQ!

David is a Couch School alumnus, Couch FFA alumnus, Past State FFA Officer, entrepreneur, and CEO of the National Pork Board… but this weekend, we were just thankful to have him behind the smoker feeding a whole bunch of hungry FFA members and their families!

We’re pretty lucky to have people like him who came through our school and FFA program, went on to do some pretty incredible things in agriculture, and still come right back home to support the next generation of Couch FFA members.

And the BBQ was GOOD.

Thank you, David, for always supporting Couch FFA!

And if you missed out on the smoked meat this time… you might want to keep an eye on the Couch FFA page. We may just have something else cooking soon…
