Mrs. Nancy Alford
T
his year, the Missouri FFA Association recognizes Mrs. Nancy Alford
for her service to agricultural education and to Missouri FFA. Nancy
has served education and young people for over 30 years. While
still raising her family, Nancy first began in education as the Area
Coordinator for Girl Scouts of America; Nancy then worked as the 4-H
Youth Education Assistant for Oregon County Missouri. For the last 21
years Nancy has been involved in our Ag Ed Family. The last 15 years, Nancy has served as
District Supervisor for Agricultural Education.
Nancy has quietly led the way for all teachers in Missouri agriculture. As Supervisor
for Missouri’s Agricultural Education’s State Staff, Nancy supervised two of Missouri’s six
districts. She is a strong torch bearer for the small rural school, while at the same time
being instrumental in encouraging growth and participation in the urban schools in and
around St. Louis.
Nancy has been instrumental in changing and updating the curriculum for Missouri
Agricultural Education programs. She has also been a champion for the implementation
of CASE (Curriculum for Agricultural Science Education) in Missouri as well as the
incorporation of the agri-science teaching method in our departments. Nancy has also
been the superintendent of the State FFA Extemporaneous Speaking LDE, as well as
organizing our special recognition of our Honorary State Degree recipients, and has been
the state staff liaison with our State Convention Media staff and press room.
Nancy and her husband, Don, are involved members of the St. Paul United Methodist
Church at Thayer, Missouri. They are the parents of two children and grandparents of two
granddaughters and one great grandson.
The Missouri FFA wants to wish Nancy congratulations on her retirement and wants
her to know that she will be missed as she begins the next chapter in her life.
Dr. Norman Rohrbach
T
he Missouri FFA Association is also pleased to recognize Dr. Norman
Rohrbach for his service to agricultural education and the Missouri FFA.
Dr. Rohrbach has been involved in the Missouri education
systems for 37 years. He began his career as an agricultural educator in
California, MO from 1973-1979, in 1980 he worked as the Farm Business
Management Analysis coordinator, then Dr. Rohrbach accepted a
position as a District Supervisor in Agricultural Education and the executive secretary
for the Missouri Young Farmers and Young Farm Wives Association. He served in the
supervisory capacity from 1984-1994. Then he returned to California where he served as
an administrator for eight years. In August 2003, Dr. Rohrbach returned to agricultural
education as the coordinator for the Farm Business Management Analysis program, a
position he held until he retired in 2012.
Dr. Rohrbach has been instrumental in the direction that adult education has
taken in Missouri. Along with the adult education passion, Dr. Rohrbach has served
as the coordinator of the State Parliamentary Procedure and Knowledge Leadership
Development Events for the Missouri FFA, as well as other agricultural education projects
throughout his career.
Norman and his wife, Joyce, are looking forward to tackling projects on their farm
in California and spending more time with their grandchildren. They are involved in the
activities at the United Church of Christ. Norman also volunteers his time in the Kiwanis
Club, the local community band and is a part of the famous Rohrbach Brothers Quartet.
The Missouri FFA wishes to thank Dr. Rohrbach for his service to agricultural education
and the Missouri FFA and know he will be missed as he moves on to the sound of quail
calling and calves bawling.

guest speaker
First General Session – Thursday, 2:30 p.m.
Kalie Hall
National FFA Secretary
Franklin County FFA – Carnesville, Georgia
Kalie Hall of Georgia credits a mentor for offering a simple
piece of advice that has defined her approach to life. “I was
told, ‘Remember where you’ve come from and meet people
where they are,’” she said. “That’s something I’ll never
forget.”
She will have literally hundreds of thousands of opportunities in the next year to
apply her mentor’s advice as she travels the country as a national FFA officer this
year.
Hall was a nine-year member of the Franklin County High School FFA chapter in
Carnesville, Ga., led by advisors Cale Watkins, Gary Minyard and Owen Thomason.
In high school, she won a host of state and national FFA awards from 20082010. She held FFA titles of state secretary, chapter president and chapter vice
president. Hall was also a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, a
student representative on her school system’s health education committee and an
active member in her local church as a youth group leader, keyboardist and choir
member.
She earned an associates degree from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and
is currently studying agricultural education at the University of Georgia at Athens.
She plans to become a middle school agricultural education teacher and FFA
advisor.
“As a national FFA officer, it will be my honor to further agricultural education in
the lives of students by investing in everyone who is in its sphere of influence,” she
said. “People want to be heard and understood. Agricultural education has taught
me to listen and given me experiences through which to understand. People need
hope. Agricultural education has given me an avenue through which to provide it.”
From Carnesville, Georgia, Hall is the daughter of Kent and Jill Hall.
Helping Youth Maximize their Agricultural eXperience (HYMAX)
A
re you a future leader in Agriculture, FFA and your community? The HYMAX Academy is for you! HYMAX is a youth
leadership conference designed for promising ninth grade students to reach their full potential! This academy

Third General Session – Friday, 1:30 p.m.
Peterson Farm Brothers
Greg, Nathan, and Kendal Peterson
Assaria, Kansas
Missouri FFA welcomes the Peterson Farm
Brothers to its 85th State Convention. Greg,
Nathan, and Kendal are employees of the
Kansas based Peterson Farm and Livestock
and have gained popularity for their agrithemed Parody Music Videos, “I’m Farming
and I Grow It’ and “Farmer Style” on You
Tube.
The brothers will be at the FFA Career Show
on Friday, April 19, 2013 and performing
and addressing the convention at the Third
General Session at 1:30 that same day.
Their message is clear, according to Greg:
They want to promote agriculture for what it really is and furthermore they
believe that people need to know where their food comes from. "People need to
know who farmers are," he said. " We are just trying to do our jobs and feed the
world."
The Peterson Farm Brothers will bring their unique and fresh style to Missouri
and share their passion for advocating for agriculture. Their message is relevant:
Agriculture is important!.
So come and join the Peterson Farm Brothers and sing: “Gotta feed everybody.
Gotta feed everybody. Gotta feed everybody. ( Uh-huh) I work out. (side)” “ I’m
Farming and I Grow It”

guest speaker
Fourth General Session – Friday, 5:30 p.m.
Harriet Turk
For more than 20 years, Harriet Turk has challenged her
audiences to think seriously about their life choices.
In a world peppered with indifference, complacency,
and difficult decisions, she offers a unique and fresh
perspective regarding leadership, loyalty and living fully.
Powerful, engaging and insightful, participants leave her
programs with a clear, practical, message about healthy
lifestyles—believe in yourself and the value of your life!
Most speakers come from a particular field of expertise. Their training is so brandspecific that they are unable to cross over into different fields. Not so with Harriet
Turk. Since 1985, Harriet has worked as a: Probation officer, Youth Programs
Coordinator, Flight Attendant, Pharmaceutical Sales Representative, College
Professor and professional speaker, trainer, and consultant.
Why different positions in several different fields? Harriet is intrigued by many
different careers and loves to work with people. While each position had very
different roles, there was one underlying appeal: Connecting with others.
Harriet pulls no punches and connects with her audiences because she ”tells it like
it is.” As inspiring as her message is, Harriet doesn’t give participants unrealistic
hope. By reinforcing the concept that we all possess personal power, participants
learn that while they might be in charge of their choices, they don’t always get
to choose the consequences. Learning how to cope with failure and try again are
essential and there’s nobody better than Harriet Turk to show you how to ”Just
Deal With It!”
