During the month of April, the Radio Oklahoma Ag Network and Oklahoma Farm Report are spotlighting the 19 Area Stars of Oklahoma FFA, who are among the highest achievers in the organization.
The stars come from the five areas in four categories – Star in Ag Placement, Star in Agriscience, Star in Agribusiness, and Star in Agricultural Production.
This week, we spotlight the five area stars in Agricultural Production in 2025.
One Star Finalist featured in the coming days from each of the categories will be named the State Star Award Winner during the 99th Oklahoma State FFA Convention, which will take place on May 6th and 7th in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
This week, our coverage of the 2025 Oklahoma FFA Star Award Finalists continues with Agricultural Production competitor Addyson Schneberger of the Hydro-Eakly FFA chapter representing the Southwest Area.
Schneberger feels very diversified in her FFA involvement because she has her proficiency in goat production, shows goats, gives speeches, and judges livestock. Last year, she won the National Goat Production Proficiency Award, and this year, at OYE, she won the 2025 Premier Exhibitor Award.
For her project, Schneberger raises show goats and Dorper sheep. “I run this operation on my family’s farm that I rent from my parents,” she described. “I have ten donor females and thirty-eight Spanish recips in Carnegie. It keeps me very busy between having show goats and that side of it, but also the production side and selling does and weathers to 4H and FFA members.”
Her production project is a continuation of what her parents started before she was born, and has continued to grow over the years. She hopes to keep her operation stable while she attends college at Redlands Community College to major in Ag Business with a pre-law option. Afterwards, she wants to graduate from Oklahoma State University and pursue law school to become an agricultural lobbyist.
“I want to represent the agricultural industry at the state capitol,” she said. “I think that I have such a drive and passion for that career because of the things that I’ve been involved in during high school.”
Throughout her career as a lobbyist, she intends to grow her herd and flock both in numbers and in quality.
