Mackenzie Kuschel put on the blue jacket for the first time in eighth grade and it just felt natural. As a freshman at South Dakota State University, Kuschel is now on the Minnesota state FFA officer team. “I make sure people are feeling cared for and that people are feeling welcomed into our organization.” Her Supervised Agriculture Experience is beef production placement where she carries on traditions from her great-grandparents while implementing new technologies. Kuschel is working toward becoming a veterinarian and says her leadership roles in FFA have given her opportunities to be successful. “State office has not only connected me to great people and great resources but has opened a lot of doors to opportunities I wouldn’t otherwise have.”
