Ellen Schutt has stepped into a new role as Executive Director of the Wisconsin FFA Foundation. She grew up on her family’s farm in Darien, Wisconsin, where they still raise cattle and crops today.

“I loved FFA growing up,” Schutt said. “I was our chapter Sentinel and competed in many different events.” After high school, she attended UW-Madison and joined the Collegiate FFA chapter.

However, her career path took a turn toward politics. For seven years, she worked as a legislative staff member, focusing on agriculture and education issues. Later, she served as a state representative for communities in Rock and Walworth Counties.

“Life changes, and I found this new role with the FFA Foundation,” Schutt shared.
