Body

Though High Plains Community School FFA president Kyleigh Farley did not grow up with farming in her blood, the agricultural organization means a lot to the leader appointed on April 12, 2022. To Farley, FFA represents the importance of agriculture in human life. 
“To me, FFA is a community of people that have the same purpose,” Farley said. “FFA is not cows and plows. FFA is the food you eat, the clothes you wear. It’s our entire lives. Without agriculture, we would not survive. So I hope that I can help carry that on.”
Farley admitted to being a city girl as she grew up in Denver, Colo., before her parents divorce about 10 years ago. Since then she lives part-time in Colorado and part-time in Nebraska, where she got involved with her step-father’s lawn company business, Redman’s Turf Services, based out of Polk.
