Profile in Leadership: Shields Valley Senior Reagan Long was elected 2024-2025 Montana FFA Association 1st Vice-President on Saturday.

Hard work has been tagging alongside Reagan Long since he was young, and accomplishment has been his constant companion. The two usually go hand in hand. On Saturday, they came together and embraced Long side-by-side, and as a result, he was elected the 2024-2025 Montana FFA Association 1st Vice-President. A life’s dream had been met. It seems for Reagan Long, anything is possible.

Reagan had an exciting week. His Sheilds Valley High School teammates and their advisor, JR Pierce, joined him in Billings at the FFA state Convention and members from 109 Montana FFA Chapters.

He teamed with Amanda Willis, Asha Jerke, and Kassidy Rock to win first place in Agronomy. They will head to the National Convention to compete in November. Individually, Reagan won the State Star in Agriculture Business, second place in Extemporaneous Speaking, and First Place in the Proficiency Award.

This week, he will find, no doubt, the cure for the common cold.
