FFA Today: Meet National FFA President Trey Myers!

National FFA President Trey Myers joins Monday’s FFA Today to share his hopes and goals for the 2025-2026 year as he steps into this opportunity to lead and serve the next generation of agriculture.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (RFD-TV) — The National FFA Organization has a new leader at its helm: Trey Myers of Perkins, Oklahoma, was elected National FFA President during the 2025–26 officer slate, chosen from 37 candidates at this year’s convention. The convention drew over 73,000 FFA members.

Myers — an applied exercise science student at Oklahoma State University and an FFA member rooted in agriculture — joined us on this week’s FFA Today to reflect on his journey, what inspired him over the years, and his plans for serving members nationwide.

In his interview with RFD-TV News, Myers shared how his involvement in FFA began by following in his brother’s footsteps, showing goats at local livestock shows, and ignited a lasting commitment to agricultural education and leadership through FFA. He also recalled the moment he was elected, Myers said, stepping on stage at the convention as he realized the opportunity to serve as the organization’s national president.

Looking ahead, Myers said one of his top goals is to make every member feel seen and valued, regardless of background or region. He explained that with the national officer team, he hopes to build connections, support individual growth, and strengthen the nationwide FFA community.
