North Zulch FFA member, Kelby Cobb, didn't choose agriculture, it chose her. As a fifth-generation Angus cattle rancher, her lifestyle is rooted in agriculture legacy. Her time in the blue corduroy jacket only solidified her path, and provided a sense of belonging along the way.
After being homeschooled for some time, Cobb entered public high school as a freshman, where she quickly got involved in her local FFA chapter.
"It just snapped," Cobb said. After getting involved, FFA felt like a place she could call home.
She now competes on the wool judging team, creed speaking, and quiz teams. Through these experiences, she has discovered her passion for agricultural advocacy, especially advocating for women in agriculture.
In addition to her FFA involvement, Cobb stepped into a statewide leadership role when she ran for and was crowned the Jr. Teen Miss Agriculture America of Texas. Through this platform she has connected with young agriculturalists across the state, using her title to promote the industry she loves and encourage other young women to step into leadership.
She uses her influence to inspire others. One of her favorite ways to advocate is by sharing “FFA Fact Monday” posts on social media, where she educates the public on agriculture and the importance of youth involvement.
Looking ahead, Cobb hopes to empower the next generation of FFA members. She is particularly passionate about helping greenhands, or nervous members, find their footing within the organization.
“I want people to know this is an organization you can call home,” Cobb said. “I want to involve everyone in every way I can.”
Cobb’s story is a testament to the power of passion, and purpose. Through her advocacy, leadership, and heart for service, she is helping ensure that every student feels supported, welcomed, and inspired through the world of agriculture.
