During the month of April, the Radio Oklahoma Ag Network and Oklahoma Farm Report are spotlighting the 18 Area Stars of Oklahoma FFA, who are among the highest achievers in the organization.
The stars come from the five areas in four categories- Star in Ag Placement, Star in Agriscience, Star in Agribusiness, and Star in Agricultural Production.
This week, we spotlight the three area stars in Agribusiness in 2024.
One Star Finalist featured in the coming days from each of the categories will be named the State Star Award Winner during the 98th Oklahoma State FFA Convention, which will take place on May 7th and 8th in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
This week, our coverage of the 2024 Oklahoma FFA Star Award Finalists concludes with Agribusiness competitor Brynna Raines of the Meeker FFA chapter representing the Central Area.
Raines runs a pet-sitting service where she cares for all types of animals, from dogs and livestock to even snakes. Raines said she saw a need for a pet-sitting service in her community, so she created her own.
“If you name it, I have probably taken care of it,” Raines said. “I am a traveling pet-sitting service, so I go to people’s homes. I don’t bring animals to my home.”
When it comes to caring for different animals, Raines said she is not afraid to use her resources to learn more about different species. Raines plans to attend Oklahoma State University to major in Agricultural Education in the fall and continue her business through college.
Raines also thanked all of those who have helped her along the way and supported her during her project and said she is excited to see her business grow in the future.
