Seven winners of the 2024 National FFA Agricultural Proficiency Awards were named during the second session of the 97th National FFA Convention & Expo on Thursday, Oct. 24, which is being held in Indianapolis.
Agricultural proficiency awards honor FFA members who, through Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs), have developed specialized skills that they can apply toward their future careers. Students compete in areas ranging from agricultural communications to wildlife management. Proficiency awards are also recognized at local and state levels and provide recognition to members exploring and becoming established in agricultural career pathways.
One of the winners announced on Thursday was Titus Montgomery of the Red Oak FFA Chapter. He was named the National Champion in Agricultural Communications Entrepreneurship/Placement
Titus has a weekly radio report called the Southeast Oklahoma Ag Report, which can be heard three times each weekday on The Mix 93.1 FM. Montgomery also started a podcast, “Brag on Ag,” which he produces on his own and is published on all major podcast listening apps. His Supervised Agricultural Experiences have provided him with skills in radio programming and production, advocacy and research, public speaking and writing, and even merchandising. Montgomery is a member of the Red Oak FFA Chapter in Oklahoma, and his FFA advisors are Troy Walker and Leland Walker.
Montgomery is also serving as a State Officer for Oklahoma FFA- he is the Southeast District Vice President.
