We are excited to welcome Jordan Ash of South Central Ohio as our 4-H & FFA Meat Goat Judge at the 2026 Oregon State Fair!

Jordan and his family own and operate Jordan Ash Livestock, a growing and progressive show goat operation where they manage approximately 50 head of recipient and donor females. Their program is focused on producing high-quality livestock while creating meaningful and successful experiences for youth involved in the livestock industry across the country.

Throughout his time in the livestock industry, Jordan has earned numerous awards and recognition as both an exhibitor and livestock manager. However, he considers his greatest accomplishments to be the opportunities he has had to guide and advise young people as they work toward their goals with their livestock projects.

Jordan has evaluated shows across the United States, bringing with him a strong understanding of quality livestock and, just as importantly, a commitment to helping young people grow through the show ring.

We are excited to welcome Jordan all the way from Ohio and give our Oregon exhibitors the opportunity to showcase the work they have put into their projects.

Welcome to Oregon, Jordan! We look forward to having you in the ring with our 4-H & FFA meat goat exhibitors at the Oregon State Fair!

This October, some talented Oregon FFA members will experience the National FFA Convention & Expo from a very special place—the stage!

We are excited to congratulate the Oregon FFA members who have been selected to participate in the National FFA Band, National FFA Chorus, and National FFA Talent!

For more than 70 years, National FFA Band and Chorus have brought together musically talented FFA members from across the country to perform throughout National Convention. National FFA Talent gives members another opportunity to share their unique abilities and passions with thousands of fellow FFA members and guests.

Being selected for one of these groups is more than an opportunity to perform. It is a chance to represent Oregon FFA, build friendships with members from across the nation, and share talents that have been developed through dedication, practice, and a willingness to step onto the national stage.

Congratulations to our Oregon FFA members selected for National Band, Chorus, and Talent! We are proud to have you representing Oregon this October, and we can't wait to see you shine on the national stage!

🐇 Meet Our Oregon State Fair Rabbit Judges — Linda Eubank & Kaiya Green!

We are excited to welcome Linda Eubank and Kayia Green as two of our 4-H & FFA Rabbit Judges at the 2026 Oregon State Fair!

Linda Eubank is a Satin rabbit breeder from Oregon’s Willamette Valley and a longtime 4-H volunteer with a passion for creating learning opportunities for young people. Linda helped originate OSU Extension’s Critter Campus and even coined the program’s name. She has taught rabbit classes through the program, helping youth learn from experienced volunteers—and from one another. Her commitment to education and youth development complements her years of experience in the rabbit industry.

Kayia Green, from Albany, Oregon, is a rabbit breeder, 4-H leader, 4-H alum, and American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA) breeder. Having grown up through the 4-H program and now giving back as a leader, Kayia understands firsthand the work, learning, and growth that come through a youth livestock project.

Together, Linda and Kayia bring not only experience in the rabbit industry, but a shared commitment to helping young people learn, grow, and develop their skills. That makes them a great fit for a State Fair experience that is about much more than ribbons and placings.

Welcome to the Oregon State Fair, Linda and Kayia! We’re excited to have you at the judging tables with our 4-H & FFA rabbit exhibitors!

The opportunities through Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs) are truly limitless—and our Oregon Agriscience Fair finalists are showing just how far curiosity, creativity, and a passion for science can take you.

Agriscience Research SAEs give students the opportunity to investigate real questions in agriculture through experimental, analytical, and inventive research. Along the way, students build skills, solve problems, analyze information, and connect with educators, university researchers, industry professionals, and peers.

These projects are more than research—they are opportunities for students to explore their passions, discover career possibilities, and contribute to the future of agriculture.

Our finalists have put in countless hours developing their research and preparing to share what they have learned. Their journey will continue in September as they interview for the opportunity to represent Oregon at the National FFA Convention & Expo, where they will showcase their work alongside some of the nation’s top student researchers.

We are incredibly proud of each of our finalists and the work they have accomplished. Good luck with your interviews in September—we can't wait to see where your research takes you!
