Farm Girl Vies for Miss America Title

Farm Girl Vies for Miss America Title

On Sunday the New Miss America will be crowned. So why would I be mentioning that on my Farm and Ranch Report? Well, this year there is a farm girl from New Mexico who is vying for the title.
Jessica Burson from Roswell was selected as Miss New Mexico in her first pageant appearance. Here is a clip from her introduction video that she made for people to vote on the People’s Choice.
Burson: “Even though I’m new to pageants, I’m not new to being a role model. Through organizations like 4-H and FFA, I’ve become a young woman with strong morals and values that others can look up to. If you want all-American girl that can talk to Congress, give a motivational speech or maybe even bale hay — then I’m your Miss America. From praying for rain to beating the sun up to working with youth from across the nation; I’ve prepared for Miss America in a much different way.”
She is a fifth generation farmer and their family farm includes sheep, hay and alfalfa. She was involved in both 4-H and FFA growing up and is currently a 4-H leader. She attends Eastern New Mexico University with a double major in animal science and communications.
So although I’m not usually one to tune into the Miss America Pageant — this Sunday night I plan on doing just that and cheering on the farm girl from New Mexico.
