ERIC QUISENBERRY NAMED TO OK AG YOUTH COUNCIL
By Emmie Swanson

SHATTUCK, OKLAHOMA - In the spring of this year, the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture opened applications for the 2021-2022 Oklahoma Agriculture Youth Council. The council, created by Secretary of Ag, Blayne Arthur, consists of 20 seniors from across the state. It was established as a means of professional development for future agricultural leaders in Oklahoma. Shattuck’s Eric Quisenberry completed the extensive application process, and was officially chosen for the council in May. The application included a resume, transcript, and essay submissions, as well as an interview, and a video submission. Eric’s video can be viewed by scanning the QR code below. Eric, along with his fellow council members, will spend the next year visiting Oklahoma agricultural organizations, will learn about the legislative processes involved in agriculture, shadow industry professionals, and develop his own agricultural professional skills. The official mission statement of the Oklahoma Agriculture Youth Council is, “to develop future agriculture leaders in Oklahoma through professional development, industry exposure and experiential learning.” Eric is, without a doubt, a future leader in agriculture, and Shattuck FFA is proud to have him represent our community and school in this prestigious opportunity.
