National FFA President Trey Myers Reflects on Year of Service

Myers shares what he is most looking forward to as National FFA Convention approaches.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (RFD-TV) — National FFA is counting down to its convention this fall as more than one million members prepare to gather in Indianapolis.

National FFA President Trey Myers of Oklahoma joined us on Friday’s Market Day Report to discuss his year of service and what he is looking forward to at convention.

In his conversation with RFD-TV, Myers reflected on how FFA grew into more than showing livestock for him and the lessons he has learned while traveling across the country as president.

Looking ahead to convention, Myers says he is excited to reconnect with members and hopes his retiring address leaves them feeling challenged and hopeful.
