Blair Rutherford,

SAE(s):
My SAE is a floriculture placement project at Deacon Valley Farms in Meadowview, VA. My responsibilities vary throughout the seasons, but my primary job is to plant and maintain a variety of flowers to be used for arrangements. I assist at weddings, designing and arranging bouquets, corsages, arches, and other decorations.
Favorite CDE/LDE:
My favorite LDE is Prepared Public Speaking. I competed for three years, and had the opportunity to travel to Massachusetts and compete at the Big E twice. I enjoyed Prepared because it gave me the opportunity to research topics that majorly affect the agriculture industry and interview two really interesting individuals.
Favorite FFA Memory:
My favorite FFA memory was attending State Convention in 2023. That year, my high school chapter had brought a larger group than normal and we had the best time together attending workshops, sessions, and exploring the Virginia Tech campus. I always look forward to State Convention, but that year was special.
Future Plans:
Following my year of service, I will attend Virginia Tech to major in Agribusiness Management. I plan to pursue a master’s degree and become a commercial and agricultural lender. I hope to return to my home town, but I am also open to opportunities in new areas.
