Congratulations

Molly Parker has earned a spot in the 2026 HYMAX Academy, an elite leadership experience for the top 100 incoming sophomore FFA members in Missouri.

HYMAX is designed to help members grow as leaders and advocates for agriculture. Molly will take part in hands-on activities, connect with FA members from across the state, strengthen her SAE, and build skills in communication, leadership, and agricultural awareness. She'll also bring back new ideas to help our chapter continue to grow and share the story of agriculture.

Molly was originally selected as the first alternate and is now getting this opportunity after a spot opened up. Talk about a well-deserved chance!

We are incredibly proud of you, Molly, and can’t wait to see the impact you make!
