FFA in the USA reporter
Trent Oney
Hello National FFA! My name is Trent Oney, and I’m proud to represent the Sumner FFA Chapter from the beautiful and agriculturally diverse state of Washington. I’m a first-generation agriculturist who began my FFA journey as a freshman in high school, and I’ll never forget the moment I put on my blue jacket for the first time. From that day forward, I made it my mission to share the incredible opportunities FFA has given to thousands of students with future generations. Whether you’re like me, a first-generation member hoping to change public perception, or a generational farmer continuing your family’s legacy, I believe every story deserves to be heard and celebrated. I’m excited to highlight the experiences that make each of us unique, because no matter your dreams or aspirations, FFA truly is a stepping stone to success. Let’s do this, FFA!
