It was a busy 2023 for Jessica Herr. At the 2022 National FFA Convention, she became just the 12th Pennsylvania FFA member to be nominated to the national team, the first Pennsylvanian elected to the team since 2001-02 and the state’s first female National FFA member.
She recently ended her year of service and is now back home in Lancaster County. And while traveling to more than 30 states and South Africa was the chance of a lifetime, being close to home is where her heart is.
I recently sat down with Herr to talk about her year on the national officer team, things she learned on the road and how the experience has led her to a surprising change in her future plans.
Give it a listen.
