Hey y’all! My name is Emma Walton and I am your 2024-2025 Minico FFA Student Advisor. I ran for an office because I am extremely passionate about the agricultural industry and I want to show students that they have a place and a purpose in the FFA, and that you don’t have to be a farmer to be in the FFA. Some things about me are that I love anything to do with livestock (especially showing it) and that I love livestock judging, and am hoping to be able to livestock judge when I go to college. For the next school year, I am excited to meet and interact with our members, and I cannot wait to see everything that we can accomplish!
