Hey Texas FFA!! My name is Kate Nash, Iā€™m from the Davenport FFA chapter, and I am so blessed to be serving you as the Texas FFA Area VII State Vice President! This organization has given me some of my favorite memories, introduced me to my favorite people, and helped lead me to my true purpose. Getting the opportunity to give back to the organization and community that shaped me into who I am today is something I am incredibly grateful for. Thank you to my family for supporting me through all things FFA when it was new to us all, the friends Iā€™ve made along the way that pushed me to grow, my ag teachers who guided me through every opportunity, my new team who have showed me more love than I knew possible, and every individual that supported me along the way. This post can only capture a fraction of the impact that Texas FFA has had on me and a fraction of the impact I hope to leave on it. I am excited to use this page to bring yā€™all along for everything that this exciting year has in store, from the people and the places, to every memory in between! Iā€™m so ready to meet you, learn from you, serve you, and make the most of every moment ahead. Letā€™s do this Texas FFA! šŸ’™šŸŒŸ

Texas FFA, no words can describe how much youā€™ve meant to me this past year. I canā€™t thank you enough for the memories, laughs, and experiences you gave me throughout my time serving you. Never forget that you are the future of agriculture and your reflection is one to be proud of. You have shown me where real beauty lies. Never lose sight of what truly makes you beautiful; your actions and the way that you live. It was a blessing to serve Texas FFA, but the truth is the real blessing is its members. Thank you for the kindness, support, and love you never failed to show me. If there is anything you remember from your 2025-2026 Texas FFA State Vice President from the Area VII Association let it be that you are just as loved, worth, and impactful on the days that you canā€™t see it as you are on the days that you can. I know that Area VII and Texas FFA are in such great hands. Kate Nash, you will do so many amazing things. With that being saidā€¦ Chays, signing out!

Best summer yet!!! āœØāœØ Started with seeing Mr. 305 in May, continued spending time with family and friends, putting on a meat judging camp, playing A LOT of 42, and ending the summer with the best group of people I could ask for!! šŸ¤šŸ¤ The 2026 meat judging team had our Summer grading trip where we headed to Canyon, Amarillo, Friona and Hereford. We worked out at Tyson Amarillo and got the opportunity to tour the Cargill beef plant in Friona. Then we did a little sight seeing at Palo Duro Canyon and saw some of our favorite people along the way!! Extremely excited for this Fall semester!! Blessed is an understatement šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Texas FFA, I will always run to you You have changed my life in ways I didnā€™t even think were possible. You taught me how to love deeper, how to find joy in the unexpected, and what a servantā€™s heart truly looks like. The goodness of the Lord was revealed to me through every member I was blessed to meet, every chapter that welcomed me in, and every struggle that deepened my strength and trust in Him. I would not be the person I am today without the members, teammates, and ag teachers that have been by my side throughout this journey. Thank you for sharing your love, joy, kindness, peace, patience, and gentleness with me in every circumstance, I hope I have been able to give you an ounce of that in return. Remember to run to the people and places that ground you in purpose. Run to the things that set your soul on fire. Run to your home. Texas FFA, youā€™ll always be mine.

ā€œIf you live a passive life, life will pass you by.ā€ I truly canā€™t put into words what an incredible five years this has been. When I started this journey, I had no idea how many lifelong friendships, memories, and relationships I would make along the way. Iā€™m so thankful for everyone who has been by my side, supported me, believed in me, and helped me become who I am today. Iā€™m especially grateful for the amazing team I had the privilege to serve alongside this year. I couldnā€™t have asked for a better team to do it all with. Itā€™s time to close this chapter of my life, but Iā€™m excited for everything else thatā€™s in store and plan to keep this momentum going. Remember to go live your life and go love harder.

Texas FFA, what an incredible convention. I remember walking into my first convention with bright new eyes, in awe of the incredible FFA members around me and on stage. As I walked into my fourth State Convention, I had that same feeling all over again. From meeting countless new people and making memories that will last a lifetime to being installed as the Texas FFA Area XII State Vice President, I truly felt at home in a sea of blue corduroy. I am so grateful to be a part of this amazing organization and so honored to have the opportunity to serve Texas FFA this year. This convention was the perfect way to begin my year of service, and I couldnā€™t be more excited for everything ahead. I love you all so big, and I canā€™t wait for the year ahead! šŸ’™

Texas FFA, 372 days. Nearly 300 schools. 40,000 miles. 180,000 members. Numbers, however, cannot begin to describe a year that was nothing short of life changing. This year was truly the greatest honor. I always knew that as a state officer, I hoped to make an impact. What I didnā€™t know was how each and every one of you would impact me so much more. You welcomed me into your schools, into your homes, but most importantly, into your hearts. You shared your beautiful journeys and listened to mine in return. You allowed me to learn and laugh with you even on the hard days. You showed me that you donā€™t have to be perfect to be loved, you just have to be you. While these words arenā€™t enough, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. To my team: Laine, Kinley, Cody, Jud, Brennan, Tucker, Ciara, Brady, Pops, Maddie, and Lyli. Thank you for showing me what it truly means when friends become family. You have sat by me in my lowest moments and celebrated with me in my highest. You have each contributed something so special to my life and I canā€™t wait to carry you with me into this next adventure. Although itā€™s time for me to hang up this jacket, I want to remind you of something: your dragonflies. Every day, in every moment, look for your dragonflies, your joy when you think there is none. The amount of joy in your life is completely dependent on your ability to seek it, so choose today to start the search. Once you find them, donā€™t let go, theyā€™re far too precious to lose. The Lord blessed me abundantly this year, but my biggest blessing is you, Texas FFA, so thank you. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for being my home. And thank you for being my dragonflies. I pray that at some point, I was able to be one of yours. With all my love, 2025-2026 Texas FFA State President Riley Farris

ā€œIf youā€™re gonna be a bear, be a grizzlyā€ This year has been nothing short of the best of my life. This year gave me a lot of miles, late nights, memories, and most importantly friends that turned into family. The day that seemed so impossibly far away when I hung up the blue and gold corduroy came and went, but the impact the jacket left on me will be something that stays with me for a life time. I couldnā€™t have asked for a better home to be a part of, and a better team to share it with. Your 25-26 Area VIII State Vice President Signing out -Brady Hudler

Texas FFA, I have had 404 days to think about what I want to say as my last goodbye since I was elected, but somehow, there still arenā€™t enough words to explain what this year has meant to me. On May 15, 2025, one of the biggest dreams of my life came true. I became a Texas FFA State Officer. Somewhere along the way, Texas FFA became more than an organization I served. It became home. Home isnā€™t a place to me. Itā€™s the people from my home chapter who pushed me to follow my dreams. Itā€™s the people you can laugh with at ALCā€™s until your stomach hurts, cry with during Vespers when things get hard, and sit beside without saying a word to listen when all you need is a shoulder to lean on. That is what Texas FFA has been for me. For the past year, I got to wear the blue jacket, walk into rooms filled with people I loved, hear stories that changed me, and make memories I already know Iā€™ll spend the rest of my life missing. If you heard my retiring address, you know I believe our missing pieces, or hardships in life, donā€™t define us. But rather, they can create the most beautiful story to our puzzle. Some pieces change us forever, and some become so special that we canā€™t imagine our puzzle without them. Texas FFA has been one of those pieces for me. You gave me people, memories, lessons, and a place where I truly belonged. You gave me a home. So if your puzzle feels broken, donā€™t force pieces together just to fill the empty spaces. Find the people and things that fulfill you and make your life feel like yours. Texas FFA, thank you for being my home. STOP FORCING, & START LIVING. šŸ§© MAKE EVERYBODY FEEL LIKE A SOMEBODY. Your 2025-2026 AV Texas FFA State Vice President, signing out! ā¤ļø
