Taylor Nothdurft, 2025-26 VP
SAE Project:

Agriculture Communications: I run an FFA social media account where I promote agricultural education, engage with members and make fun and entertaining FFA and agriculture content.

Agriculture Education: I participate in the Ag Ed on the Move program and also put on a petting zoo at my school, as well as other educational events. 

Swine Production Entrepreneurship: I show,train, raise and sell show pigs.

Service Learning: I volunteered at a therapeutic horsemanship center.

Why did I want to serve as a Missouri FFA State Officer?

I want to serve as a state officer because I want to give back to the organization that has given me everything. FFA has always felt like home to me, and the people I have met as well as the memories I have made have been so impactful on my journey. I want to show members what all FFA can do for them and encourage them to be involved!

What legacy do you most want to leave during your year of service?

I want to be a positive influence in FFA members’ lives. I want to encourage them, push them to do bigger things, and motivate them not just within FFA but in the walk of life. I hope that they will remember me as being bright, positive and uplifting.

What are your plans for the future?

My plan for the future is to be an ag teacher and FFA advisor. I cannot wait to start my career and teach future agriculturalists. 

What is something unique or interesting that few people know about you?

Something unique about me is that I show pigs.

Advice to FFA Members

Don’t be afraid to be your own kind of person and stray away from the crowd.
