Jordan Tucker, Buffalo

VICE PRESIDENT 2026-27

I have many SAEs. My livestock enterprises consist of me raising, showing and selling a variety of livestock and small animals. I currently raise commercial beef cattle, poultry, equine, haired sheep, wool sheep and rabbits. My rabbits are my biggest operation, consisting of 120 breeding and show quality animals. During the summer, I work at a local snow shack where I make and sell shaved ice and fresh squeezed lemonades. Throughout the year, I prioritize educating the public about agriculture through speeches, presentations and lessons. This grew my agricultural education SAE, where I work along local stakeholders and 4-H clubs to educate communities.

I wanted to serve as a Missouri FFA State Officer because I have a passion for connecting with members from across the state and making a positive impact on youth. This role provides an incredible opportunity to inspire others, build meaningful relationships and help members grow both personally and as leaders. I believe serving as an officer allows me to make a lasting difference while giving back to an organization that has impacted my own life in so many ways.

I want my legacy to be one of connection, encouragement and growth. I hope to make Missouri FFA members feel valued and inspired to believe in their potential, step outside their comfort zones and say yes to new opportunities. Through my year, I hope to lead students, and I want to help members gain confidence, develop a love for agriculture and create a positive impact.

After graduating high school I plan to attend college to get a degree in agriculture education. I want to become an ag teacher and FFA advisor. I plan to continue my family’s century farm by operating our cow calf operation.

Many people know me for my diverse livestock enterprises and lifelong involvement in agriculture, but not everyone knows when I was younger you could find me showing llamas. I mainly showed in halter and obstacle classes with my llama, named Lexi. Throughout the show season, I often found myself at the Missouri State Fairgrounds showing. 

You never know when an opportunity may change your life, so take full advantage of everything Missouri FFA and your community have to offer. Don’t be afraid to step into experiences that may seem intimidating, those are often the moments that lead to the greatest, success and lifelong memories. Enjoy your years with the blue corduroy jacket because it will go by faster than you think.
