3rd Place Broiler - Cody Sexton - La Porte FFA - 12th Grade

I have been a member of La Porte FFA for the past four years, and I have just retired from serving as the La Porte FFA President and the Area III Association Vice President. Growing up in a family that has owned a small, beef cattle operation, I was always submerged in the agriculture industry, and I found myself to be very passionate about it. I have spent the past four years raising every species in the barn including steers, sheep, pigs, broilers, turkeys, and rabbits. I am attending Sam Houston State University in the fall, where I will be double majoring in Plant and Soil Science and Political Science, with a minor in Agriculture Education Certification. Where I plan to go with this education is uncertain, as of now, but my intentions are to do one of the following: become a biotechnologist and develop GMOs to feed the neediest, become an ag science teacher and FFA advisor, or to involve myself in the US government through public office. All proceeds from the livestock sale will benefit my education and go towards my tuition.
