At the 2024 Oklahoma FFA Convention, Senior Farm and Ranch Broadcaster, Ron Hays had the chance to talk with a National FFA Officer and Ohio native, Morgan Anderson. Hays and Anderson converse about her FFA experiences and her time as a state Ohio FFA Officer and a National FFA Officer.
“There is something about the blue jacket and agriculture that you cannot find anywhere else,” Anderson said.
Anderson has a broad background within the FFA organization, which inspired her to run for national office after serving as a state officer for Ohio.
“I knew that I didn’t want to pursue a national office because it was ‘the next thing you could do,’” Anderson said. “If you do that, you are going to be left with a really disappointing year with a lot of hard work if that is all you are going for. I really just wanted to find that deeper purpose again.”
In her travels as a national officer, Anderson said it is fascinating to see how agriculture is different across the country.
“I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” Anderson said.
