There’s silage on his boots, a gavel in his backpack, and a blue jacket that’s never far from reach.

Corduroy Couture. Contest Ready. Chronically Tired.

Some students juggle homework and sports. The FFA Prodigy juggles livestock judging, chapter officer duties, and a color-coded Google Calendar. He’s got more leadership pins than sleep hours and treats the FFA creed like scripture. He can persuade you with a smooth set of reasons, effortlessly calculate land slopes, quickly break down feed efficiency... and is one of the only students in his class who’s actually excited to learn about soil types.

This is the student who literally lives by the rules... that is Roberts Rules (of Order). The FFA Prodigy thinks “second that motion” is just good manners, and loves nothing more than a well ran meeting. He’ll plan a chapter FFA banquet bigger than the Oscars, and is sure to yell “Tuck in your tallywacker” 10 times before the night is over.

The Farm Runs on Him (And Robert’s Rules)

He drafts chapter agendas between milkings and practices Opening Ceremony lines while pushing feed. “The meeting room will come to order…” has echoed off more barn tin than most classrooms. He’s competed in just about every FFA acronym there is — CDEs, LDEs, and probably a few that haven’t been invented yet. Dairy Judging? Done it. Parliamentary procedure? Won it. Let’s just say, if it comes with a rubric, a score sheet, or a trip to State Convention, he’s already signed up.

There is always a motion. There is always a second. And after enough Parli Pro practice in the barn, even the cows know when something’s out of order. They may not understand LDE scoring sheets — but they’ve definitely heard enough procedure to call the meeting themselves.
