Her pursuing the American Degree which is the highest degree and honor achievable for the FFA is just an example of her dedication to the agriculture field.

"It demonstrates the effort FFA members apply toward their supervised agricultural experience and the outstanding leadership abilities and community involvement they exhibited through their FFA career," Benton said. "American FFA Degree recipients show promise for the future and have gone above and beyond to achieve excellence. To be eligible to receive the American FFA Degree, members must meet qualifications such as receiving a State FFA Degree, holding active membership for the past three years, completing secondary instruction in an agricultural education program, and operating an outstanding supervised agricultural experience program. Community service, leadership abilities, and outstanding scholastic achievement are also required."
Outside of school, Warren works at Tractor Supply, Co., and hangs out with her dogs, Indy and Nola. In the future, she hopes to keep contributing to the world of agriculture because it has been a longstanding passion of hers.
