As agriculturalists, farmers, businessmen and women, government officials, family and friends follow us throughout our year, they will be highly influenced by our example.

It is essential to help promote the image of agriculture in a positive way, sharing great stories, ideas and future plans for this industry. The objective as a State FFA Officer is to inspire the people we meet by showing them the opportunities found in agriculture.

In life I have had many hobbies such as being active in sports such as volleyball and basketball, but one of the hobbies that has made me who I am is being involved in the FFA.
