Two FFA members from the area were considered for the National FFA Officer team. Kegan Zimmerman from Minnesota and Clayton Sorum from South Dakota advanced to the Top 25 candidates. Sorum says the interview process is long, but so essential for the National FFA Organization. “It’s a week long emotional roller coaster where you’re trying to go and show the nominating committee who you are and what you bring to the table,” he says. “Based on a two hour interview, they have to form a team of six that will travel across the country.” Sorum is majoring in agricultural education at South Dakota State University. He wants to teach agriculture after graduation. “About 99 percent of the students who come through agricultural education aren’t going on to be farmers, but we can build agriculturalists and smarter consumers for the future.”
