Hello! I am Melinda Wesley, and I am from the Utica FFA Chapter in Utica, OH. I currently am serving as Chapter President and compete in various competitions, my favorite being Public Speaking. I grew up on a dairy/grain farming operation and quickly developed a passion for agriculture and agriculture advocacy. I am excited for this year of service!
