FFA in the USA reporter
Nathan Lachance
Hi everyone! I’m Nathan Lachance, and I’m incredibly excited to serve as the Massachusetts Bristol FFA Chapter President and an FFA In the USA Reporter! Agriculture has been a huge part of my life for years, and one of my biggest passion is showing beef cattle. At home, I’m a Lead Farm Manager working with miniature Highland steers, a job that keeps me on my toes and learning something new every single day.
Outside of FFA, I’ve competed in basketball and soccer, which taught me teamwork, commitment, and how to lead both on and off the field. I’ve also had the amazing opportunity to attend the National FFA Convention & Expo three times, and each experience pushed me to grow as a leader and give even more back to this organization. I’m fired up to be here, excited for the year ahead, and can’t wait to connect with all of you!
