Chapter: Skiatook
Letter to the Members:
My name is Sloane McIntire, and I am currently serving as your 2026-2027 Oklahoma FFA Northeast Area Vice President. I am a freshman at Oklahoma State University, where I plan to major in Agricultural Education. I have lived in Skiatook my entire life with my parents and sister.
I joined FFA my freshman year of high school, and it completely changed my life. I still remember meeting both of my ag teachers and thinking, “Man, they are overly excited about this class.” Little did I know that I would become just as excited about it. I never expected one class to change the direction of my life, but FFA did exactly that.
I was never someone who naturally stepped outside of my comfort zone, but after competing in Opening and Closing Ceremonies, I quickly began overcoming that fear. Once I realized just how many opportunities FFA offered, I dove in headfirst. From Livestock Judging and Floriculture to Public Speaking and Land Judging, I wanted to be a part of it all.
My sophomore year, I started my Supervised Agricultural Experience in Swine Production Entrepreneurship, where I quickly fell in love with the swine industry. The Oklahoma Pork Partners Derby kick-started my passion for showing, and after my first year, I was hooked.
Through each of these experiences, I continued to fall more in love with FFA and discovered my passion for teaching. I owe where I am today to my ag teachers, Mr. Nieman and Mr. Soules, because their excitement and dedication inspired me to pursue this path.
My family and I did not grow up in this industry, but every step of the way, they have walked right beside me. Their support has allowed me to chase every opportunity FFA has given me, and I would not be where I am today without them.
