From FFA roots to state leader: Minnesota state president reflects on “dream year”

Born into FFA. 

Outgoing Minnesota FFA state president Cameron Addington calls serving the past year a dream come true.

“I grew up around FFA. My mom was on state staff, so I’ve been coming to the Minnesota FFA Convention since I was about three weeks old. And getting to grow up around the state officers and seeing the blue jackets around Mariucci Arena each year is always really special. and now getting to be here as a state officer and serve this past year, it’s been a dream come true.”

The native of Cannon Falls tells Brownfield being a state officer involves relationship building.

“Whether you’re going on an industry visit with CHS or Ag Partners or something, or you’re going on a chapter visit to meet with students.”

Addington is a student at Iowa State University.
