Letter to the Members:
Hello, everyone! My name is Jorja Scherler. I grew up between the two small towns of Chattanooga and Walters and am a recent graduate of Chattanooga High School. I am attending Oklahoma State University, where I am majoring in agribusiness.
Being a fifth-generation farmer and rancher on both sides of the family, I grew up watching firsthand the true importance of agriculture. My parents, Jeremy and Joey Scherler, and my younger sister, Jewel, and I run a cow/calf operation, sow and harvest wheat and plant and strip cotton as a part of J Scherler Farms.
I fell in love with running a tractor and combine at an early age. I remember riding in the buddy seat and begging my dad to drive the combine until he had no choice but to say yes. One of my first and favorite childhood memories is my dad picking me up from ballet class when I was 8 years old and taking me straight to the cotton field. I spent the entire day running the module builder in my ballet shoes while my dad stripped cotton.
In addition to working on the farm and feeding and working cattle, I found a passion for many FFA activities my eighth grade year. Exhibiting show pigs and public speaking were some I knew I would stick with every year. Throughout the years, I enjoyed being a part of multiple teams such as Opening and Closing Ceremonies, Livestock Judging and Agriculture Communications, along with going to every leadership camp and conference available for me to better myself, my chapter and my community.
I owe a huge thank you to my whole family and my ag teachers. It is because of them and their never-ending love and support that I am the person I am today. I am honored to be serving the Oklahoma FFA Association as the 2022-2023 Southwest Area Vice President.
