We are incredibly proud of Khyle Aphay for representing El Capitan FFA, the Merced-Mariposa Section, and California at the National FFA Next Gen Agribusiness Systems Conference in Chicago!
Khyle was honored to be one of only 75 students from across the country selected to attend this prestigious leadership and career development experience.
Throughout the week, he toured the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences, visited Invenergy, connected with agricultural industry leaders, and explored the many career opportunities within the agribusiness industry. He also collaborated with fellow FFA members from across the nation, building lifelong friendships and gaining valuable experiences that will help shape his future.
Khyle returned home with new ideas, valuable knowledge, and inspiration that will help strengthen our chapter. We look forward to seeing him share what he learned and continue growing as a leader within El Capitan FFA.
A special thank you to National FFA for hosting such an incredible conference and providing students with this unforgettable opportunity to grow as leaders, explore careers in agriculture, and connect with members from across the country.
We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to Yosemite Farm Credit for sponsoring Khyle’s attendance at the conference. Your generous support made this incredible opportunity possible, and we truly appreciate your investment in the next generation of agricultural leaders.
Congratulations again, Khyle, on representing El Capitan FFA, the Merced-Mariposa Section, and California with pride. We are proud of you and can’t wait to see all the great things you’ll accomplish! Way to go! 💙💛
