​Micah Lightfoot
Logan FFA
State Vice President - District II
​Hello New Mexico FFA! My name is Micah Lightfoot and I am honored to serve as your 2022-2023 District II President/ State Vice President! Growing up both of my parents were FFA advisors and having such a young start in the organization started my passion for the FFA and the agriculture industry. My love only deepened for agriculture when I put on my first ever corduroy jacket. My favorite thing that has come from my involvement in FFA and the agriculture industry is my SAE, showing livestock. I started showing livestock when I was 6 and I have loved every minute of it. I started showing market swine and up to this point I have shown everything imaginable. Lately, I am sticking to market lambs and swine for the most part. I am so thankful for the skills that I have learned throughout the years in my FFA career and my involvement in agriculture. I can confidently say that I wouldn’t be who I am today without my young start in FFA and passion for agriculture. I am so excited for what this year will bring! See you soon!
