About Me
Hi! My name is Elias Hultgren, and I attend MACCRAY High School in Clara City, MN.
I’m actively involved in the FFA program, where I compete on the Crops Team. FFA has been an excellent opportunity for me to expand my knowledge of agronomy and gain hands-on experience in agriculture.
In addition to FFA, I’m a member of the National Honor Society. Outside of school, I live and work on my family farm, where we grow corn, soybeans, kidney beans, and sugarbeets. I also enjoy being part of a custom chopping crew that works with local dairies — it’s a great way to stay involved in the agricultural community and gain valuable real-world experience.
I chose to take the West Central CEO course to grow my professional network. I believe that building strong connections now will benefit my future in farming by helping me identify the right businesses and resources efficiently. I also hope this course will teach me how to successfully manage a business by learning from the experiences and success stories of the companies we visit.
About My Business
We all know beef sticks and jerky are a popular snack—but do you really know where the beef in store-bought snacks comes from?
At Colfax Snax, we know exactly where our cows are raised, how they’re cared for, and how the meat is prepared. Our meat comes from local butchers, supporting the community and small farms. That means better quality, better flavor, and meat you can feel good about eating.
Once you try our jerky, you won’t want the bland flavors of typical snacks—because at Colfax Snax, we truly value where our meat comes from.
