Letter to the Members:
Hello, Oklahoma FFA! My name is Darla Fesmire, and I am honored to serve as your 2025 2026 Oklahoma FFA State Reporter.
I grew up in rural northeast Oklahoma and graduated from Oklahoma Union High School. My journey in agriculture began with 4-H, but everything changed in eighth grade when I joined FFA and gave my first speech in Prepared Public Speaking. From that moment on, I knew I had found where I belonged.
Throughout my FFA career, I’ve been involved in a little bit of everything, from exhibiting livestock at the state and national levels, to competing in livestock judging, dairy cattle evaluation, and employment skills. But my heart has always been in public speaking, where I’ve continued to challenge myself and grow as a communicator.
I served on my chapter’s officer team all four years of high school, gaining valuable experience in service, teamwork, and leadership. My Supervised Agricultural Experience focused on Diversified Livestock Production. Working alongside my dad, I raised show cattle and show sheep for 4-H and FFA members to exhibit at all levels of competition. That experience taught me responsibility, dedication, and what it means to invest in others.
FFA has been one of the most meaningful parts of my life, and I’m so grateful for everything it has taught me. I’m excited to spend this year giving back to the organization that helped shape me and to serve FFA members across the state of Oklahoma.
