State FFA officers visiting Guymon on Feb. 2

The state Future Farmers of America officer team of the Oklahoma FFA Association will conduct its 2023 Goodwill Tour with a visit to the Guymon FFA Chapter at 10:45 a.m. Feb. 2.

Four collegiate FFA leaders will make a stop at Guymon High School to meet with FFA members, potential members, school administrators and community leaders.

“We never take the opportunity to influence Oklahoma’s youth lightly. During our chapter tours, we hope to understand the unique factors that make every chapter different and inspire their members to influence their community for the better,” said Braden Burns, state FFA president. “During these visits, the state officer team wants to go beyond agriculture and leadership and take this chance to inspire students into action for the betterment of their lives and those around them.”

Throughout the Goodwill Tour, state officers will challenge FFA members to go all out in their passion for agriculture and leadership. A total of 62 chapters were selected for the 2023 tour from the 366 total chapters in the state.

Visiting the local chapter are Braden Burns, state president; Hayden Harper, southeast area vice president; Kyla Taylor, northeast area vice president; and Ava Jernigan, state secretary.
