You might want to work on remembering the names and faces of state FFA officers when you meet them writing for FFA corner in Indiana Prairie Farmer. You never know when you might run into a current or former state officer, or what they might be doing.

You may remember Sarah Correll, a young lady who served as state FFA secretary in 2011-2012. She hailed from North Miami FFA in Miami County, and was advised by Glen Jones, the legendary teacher and FFA coach who recently retired from active teaching.

Serving soybean farmers: Former Indiana FFA State Officer Sarah Correll is working as an intern with the Indiana Soybean Alliance this summer.

Checking out the Glass Barn built by the Indiana Soybean Alliance at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis recently, we found Sarah also there. And it wasn't just because she needed somewhere to hang out.

Correll is a summer intern for the Indiana Soybean Alliance. She works with Megan Kuhn, communication specialist with ISA.

"We've kept her busy this summer getting ready to open the Glass Barn," Kuhn says. "One of her jobs has been to contact board members and other volunteers and schedule them to work shifts during the fair. We're making sure that there are several knowledgeable people on hands at all times in the Barn, manning various exhibits to make sure things run smoothly, and that everyone gets their questions answered."

Kuhn also hopes to expose Sarah to other parts of the job of working for a commodity group, including putting on field days and interacting with farmers.

As for Correll she will be a sophomore with a dual major in ag education and ag economics at Purdue University this fall. With one year under her belt, she is getting a better feel for what's available for careers in agriculture.

"I started to find out that there are many opportunities for various careers while visiting businesses during my year as an officer," she says. "My original intention was to be an Extension educator, but now I know there are many other possibilities out there to consider. I haven't decided on any one career path yet."
