Presenter Highlight! Meet Joshua Smith!

At just 14 years old, Joshua Smith is already making a remarkable impact through agriculture. As the founder of The The Doxa Farm in Albany, Georgia, he's proving that age is no barrier to innovation, entrepreneurship, and serving others.

Join us as Joshua shares his journey, his innovative approach to value-added products, and how young entrepreneurs are helping shape the future of American agriculture.
