Chapter: Purcell
Letter to the Members: My name is Kaden Pliler, currently serving as your 2026-2027 Oklahoma FFA State Secretary. I am currently a freshman at Oklahoma State University, where I’m studying Agricultural Education as well as Agribusiness. I graduated from Purcell High School in the Central Area. I have a younger sister and an amazing family that I enjoy getting to hang out with, whether that be driving around town with my sister, drinking coffee out on the porch with my Granny, talking trucks with my dad, or shopping with my mom.
The Purcell FFA Chapter is the driving force behind my passion for this organization and agriculture as a whole. During my time at Purcell, I met one of the most important people in my life: my ag teacher. She saw my potential before I even saw it myself and helped me reach it. She has become a big mentor in my life and has played a huge role in shaping me into the person I am today.
Throughout my time in FFA, I competed in many different Career and Leadership Development Events. I got my start in Livestock Judging and quickly expanded to Land Judging and Meat Evaluation. In the last part of my career, I began competing in the Environmental and Natural Resources CDE. But my favorite and most competitive event was Public Speaking. I had two Supervised Agricultural Experiences during this time. One was a commercial swine operation, but my favorite was my hay hauling SAE. Every summer, my buddy and I cut, raked, and baled hay. We not only worked our own fields, but also helped local farmers get theirs done.
One of my favorite memories as an FFA member was when I went to my first-ever leadership conference, MFE. I was never a shy person, but it helped me step even further out of my comfort zone. I’ll never forget the friends, decisions, and memories I made there. That was the conference that started it all. MFE may have been short, but it told me everything I needed to know. It told me that I was home.
