Montgomery is FFA National Champion

Red Oak FFA member Titus Montgomery earned the National Champion in Agriculture Communications Entrepreneurship/Placement Award at the 97th National FFA Convention.

This award is one of the proficiency awards given to FFA members who, through Supervised Agriculture Experiences have developed specialized skills that they can apply toward their future careers. Titus has a weekly radio report called the Southeast Oklahoma Ag Report, which can be heard three times each weekday on The Mix 93.1 FM. Montgomery also started a podcast, “Brag on Ag,” which he produces on his own and is published on all major podcast listening apps. His Supervised Agricultural Experiences have provided him with skills in radio programming and production, advocacy and research, public speaking and writing, and even merchandising.

For the awards, students compete in areas ranging from agricultural communications to wildlife management. Proficiency awards are also recognized at local and state levels and provide recognition to members exploring and becoming established in agricultural career pathways. The Red Oak FFA advisors are Troy Walker and Leland Walker.

Titus is currently serving as an Oklahoma FFA State Officer as the Southeast Area Vice President and a student at Oklahoma State University majoring in Agricultural Leadership and Plant and Soil Sciences. He is the son of Johnny and Leilani Montgomery and the great-great-great-grandson of original enrollee, Lottie “Nan” Thomas West.
