FFA Members Showcase Leadership, Service, and Agricultural Excellence

May 21, 2026

Their achievements reflect months of dedication as individuals, teams, and chapter members across a wide range of competitions and activities. 

More than 2,200 FFA members, advisors, alumni, and supporters from across Wyoming gathered in Cheyenne for the Wyoming FFA Convention, a statewide celebration of student achievement, leadership, and growth in agricultural education. At the convention, students participated in career and leadership competitions, educational workshops, award ceremonies, and degree recognition events that highlighted their hard work and dedication. Beyond the competitions and honors, the experience provided students with opportunities to build confidence, develop lasting connections, and gain a deeper appreciation for the impact of agricultural education and leadership development.

Throughout the year, FFA chapter members work to develop their skills in livestock evaluation, individual livestock showing, team-based contests, and agricultural problem-solving events. These experiences help students grow both technically and personally while building confidence and expertise in agriculture. FFA provides meaningful opportunities for students to serve their communities, strengthen their leadership abilities, and explore the many facets of the agricultural industry. 

Students actively participate in service projects such as community cleanups and volunteering with local organizations, putting the FFA motto “Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, and Living to Serve” into practice each day.

Through participation in CY FFA, Windy City FFA, and Casper FFA chapters, students continue to demonstrate strong character, commitment, and community pride. Their year-round dedication to service, education, and leadership development highlights the core values of FFA and showcases the next generation of agricultural leaders emerging from Natrona County.
