Addison Smith, Author at National FFA Organization

Hi, I’m Addison Smith. I am a proud member of the West Plains FFA Chapter in West Plains, Missouri. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share the stories of FFA members and chapters as an FFA in the USA Reporter. FFA has molded me into the speech-giving, agriculture-loving, confident person that I am today. I hope that my writing inspires FFA members nationwide to step out of their comfort zone and embrace the opportunities that FFA has to offer!
