Lachlan Bradley, Author at National FFA Organization

Hello National FFA! I’m Lachlan Bradley — a junior at Richland High (Class of 2027) and a Running-Start student at WSU Tri-Cities. I’m proud to serve as the 2025–2026 Richland FFA President and Washington FFA District IV President. I joined FFA in seventh grade because I wanted an excuse to raise a goat — and I’m so glad I did. My SAE includes raising Boer market goats, chickens, ducks, and dairy goats. I compete in lots of CDEs and LDEs as well! Highlights include: 1st — WA Floriculture 2024; 1st — WA Marketing Plan 2025. I’ve led hygiene drives, first-responder appreciation projects, and chapter events, and helped plan our District IV Leadership Conference. Rooted in faith and community, I love connecting with people and creating low-pressure, skill-building opportunities to help others gain confidence and lead. My ultimate goal is to take what I’ve learned and become a state officer!
