Way Out West! with the Colorado FFA Foundation
From corn farmer to cowboy, we want to hear voices that know western life and agricultural ties. Each week, we will be speaking with various leaders, businesspeople, policy makers, advocates, personalities, and everyone in between. You see, we're not just passionate about agriculture, but we’re interested in showcasing the people who feed America and getting to know what they’re all about!
This podcast is hosted by Aidan Datteri, a past Colorado FFA State Officer and fifth-generation agriculturalist who has a passion and intrigue for all things agriculture.

WOW! Ep. 3: The Owl of Colorado- Shannon Baylie
For the last of the 3 launch episodes, we have brought on the Colorado State FFA Advisor, Shannon Baylie. Shannon was a State FFA Officer in 2011 before attending Colorado State University and majoring in agriculture education. She started her teaching career in Brush, Colorado, in 2014 and then moved to Windsor High School in 2017, where she has been ever since. While teaching, Shannon also completed a Master’s program in School Counseling. Shannon was hired on as the State Advisor in the Spring of 2024 and is now working with her second state officer team. On this episode, we hear about the transitions from teaching to the advisor role and from her first year struggles to the early successes she is finding in the second year. Tune in to hear all about FFA from the perspective of a State Advisor!
