Letter to the Members:
Hello, Oklahoma FFA! My name is Anna Jo Helling, and I am honored to serve as your 2024-2025 Northeast Area vice president.
I am from the small town of Inola. I grew up in a family of six with one sister, Isabelle, and two brothers, Caleb and Titus. Growing up I had the opportunity to help my grandpa on cow-calf operations and my other grandpa’s farm. They sparked a passion for agriculture in my life. When I was a freshman I decided to give FFA a try. However, two weeks in I got out of the class. The idea of public speaking, leadership camps and the variety of contests terrified me. After much persistence from my mom and my ag teacher, Ms. Brown, I decided to rejoin, and I fell in love with it.
Throughout my four years as an FFA member, I tried a variety of different LDEs. Those consisted of prepared public speaking, extemporaneous and opening and closing ceremonies as well as senior opening and closing ceremonies and CDEs such as horse evaluation, livestock judging, cattle grading, ag communications and vet science. My Supervised Agricultural Experiences include goat production entrepreneurship and agriculture education. Throughout my years in high school I started an ag literacy program in our elementary school that consists of educational petting zoos as well as classroom lessons. With my livestock project, I assisted in selecting my animals, learning proper nutrition and exhibiting my goats.
This next semester I will be attending Oklahoma State University. I plan to major in agricultural education and animal science. I am so excited to serve alongside each of you this year!
