Heidi Strey from the Osseo Fairchild FFA Chapter was elected to a year of service as the 2022-2023 Section Two State FFA Officer during the 93rd Wisconsin FFA Convention. Her advisor is Eric Boettcher and Amelia Hayden. Her parents are Steve and Leslie Strey. 

Strey is currently at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, majoring in Agricultural Marketing and Communications, with a minor in Animal Science. After she graduates with a Bachelor degree, her goal is to advocate for the agricultural industry by connecting producers and consumers. She wants to find connections and work directly with consumers and agriculturists.  

Heidi is a very involved student on the UWRF campus with being a member of the UWRF and Eau Claire County Collegiate Farm Bureau, the UWRF Beef Management Team and Block and Bridle, and the UWRF Intervarsity Ministries. When she isn’t at a club meeting, she can be found behind the lens of a camera. She enjoys taking pictures, when given the opportunity too. 

“Thankful. The first word that comes to my mind when I think about FFA. This organization has truly made an impact on my life, and I will be forever grateful for the opportunities it has brought me.” Heidi is going to devote her time, skills, and passion to the organization this year, with one goal in mind: to advocate for agriculture.
