Amalia Draxler of the Glenwood City FFA Chapter will serve as the 2025-2026 Wisconsin State FFA President.
The Wisconsin Association of FFA is a leading student organization due to the efforts of 259 FFA chapters statewide. With a focus on premier leadership, personal growth, and career success, students’ FFA activities complement agricultural classroom instruction by giving them an opportunity to apply their skills and knowledge while gaining real-world experience.
Draxler, daughter of Mike and Rebecca, is a student at UW-Madison, working toward a degree in agricultural and applied economics. She’s involved in the Association of Women in Agriculture and hopes to use her experiences to continue to advocate for agriculture through a career in agricultural communications.
Amalia’s supervised agricultural experience project has grown through her years working on her family dairy farm. While she started out doing basic, but necessary, physical labor tasks like cleaning barns, she has continued to take on new responsibilities, learning about health administration, nutrition management, and communications for the 1,300-head operation.
Draxler’s desire to grow, learn, and advocate did not end at her family farm or career aspirations.
“I have witnessed firsthand how Amalia can take an ordinary FFA member to the next level,” says her advisor, Kirsten Konder.
