“My brother fought all four years of high school to start the Stanton County FFA Chapter,” Sipes said. “Sadly, it did not get chartered until after he graduated. He saw the impact FFA makes on each member’s life without being given the chance to experience it himself. Therefore, when I joined FFA my freshman year of high school, I made a vow to take advantage of as many opportunities in this organization as I could, while inspiring others to do the same. As a state officer, I want to inspire members to get involved, find their passion and form their own reasons for serving the National FFA Organization and the agricultural industry.
