Emmanuel Bankston
State Vice President
Emmanuel is from Beaufort, S.C. and is a member of the Beaufort-Jasper Academy for Career Excellence FFA Chapter. He is the son of Willie and Carolyn Huff and has two sisters, Akayla and Brianna
He enjoys being a member of FFA because he loves working with people who love agriculture. His SAE was Farm Management and Products. He did custom pine straw baling. He feels that his proudest moment was winning a talent show singing a George Strait song. As his lasting contribution to the S.C. FFA program, he wants to continue a long traditon of agricultural excellence.
Emmanuell says that the most valuable lesson that he has learned from his Agriculture teacher, Robin Beasley, is that "you get whatever you put into something."
His favorite type of food is chicken strips. The last movie that he saw was Home Alone 2 and his favorite movie was Pure Country. If you picked up his iPod, you would find it filled with "country, country, and more country." The last book that he read was Progressive Farmer.
Emmanuel's future plans are to be a cattle buyer after graduating from Clemson Univrsity majoring in Animal and Veterinary Science with an empathsis in Animal Agribusiness.
