FFA in the USA reporter
Cyrus Bivens
Kentucky FFA Association · Kentucky · State officer
My name is Cyrus Bivens, I'm from the LaRue county FFA chapter. I currently live on my family's row crop farm and serve as the Kentucky FFA State Sentinel. Outside of FFA I am majoring in Agriculture Education and Horticulture at Western Kentucky University. Go Tops! My future plans though are to come back to the family farm after college. Through this position as an FFA in the USA reporter I hope to spotlight chapters, FFA members and key parts of Agriculture outside of my own community.
