FFA in the USA reporter
Maycee Thouvenel
Hello, my name is Maycee Thouvenel! I am a senior at Morgan County R-II, where I serve as the secretary for the Versailles FFA Chapter. I am also a member of two academic clubs, NHS and BETA, as well as the JAG club. Every summer, I work for my family’s custom harvesting operation, Thouvenel Harvesting. After high school, I plan to attend Kansas State University to study Agriculture and Natural Resources Communications. I am very excited for this school year as an FFA in the USA Reporter and hope you take a moment to check out my content!
