The Illinois Future Farmers of America (FFA) has a new state treasurer. Emma Kuhns, attends Altamont High School and is from Mason, Illinois. Kuhns says it hasn’t sunk in yet but is happy to be part of the FFA. Earlier this week, they held a virtual convention where Kuhns was elected. She says that despite COVID, the organization has a long storied history and will continue to adapt and overcome.

Kuhns credits older FFA members for pushing and molding her.

Kuhns thanks her work on the farm as giving her the motivation for pursuing a office in FFA.

Kuhns plans on attending the University of Illinois and majoring in agriculture and consumer economics. Eventually, she is hoping to attend law school to be involved in the political system for pushing agriculture.
