Letter to the Members:
Hello, Oklahoma FFA! My name is Heath Laubach, and I am beyond blessed to serve as your 2025 2026 Northwest Area Vice President.
I come from the community of Mooreland, but for most of my education, I attended a larger school located ten miles west called Woodward. Growing up running my own cow calf operation at a young age, I learned the importance of agriculture in our society.
One thing to know about me is that my FFA experience is more of a legacy than most. My grandpa was an Ag teacher, and my dad still is one, now in his 38th year of teaching agricultural education. I have two brothers, both of whom are married and have children.
Growing up in my family, FFA was our great connector. So when eighth grade rolled around, I knew I would sign up for eighth grade Ag Explorations with Mr. Laubach. My FFA experience encompassed most of what this great organization has to offer. I started by showing cattle and hogs, then moved on to competing in my favorite FFA activity, public speaking. I also made sure to try as many CDEs and LDEs as possible. During the school year, you could find me studying for Opening and Closing Ceremonies LDE, taste testing different milks for the Milk Quality and Products CDE, or reviewing the graphic design section to see what I missed in the Ag Communications CDE.
Throughout my FFA journey, I was fortunate to have many great advisors, but one who had a deep influence on my life was one of my Ag teachers, Ms. Focht. Ms. Focht joined my dad during my senior year, and while I did not have her as a teacher for more than a year, the impact she left on me will last a lifetime. Not only did she encourage me to be my best at all times, especially with a smile on my face, but she also taught me the power of faith and believing in Christ. Her leadership, along with my dad’s, has led me to this spot, ready to serve this year to my fullest ability.
With high school over, I am excited to attend Oklahoma State University, where I will major in Agribusiness Pre Law. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for me!
