Dalton is one of 11 Oklahoma FFA members who won the National title in their project area, the most of any state in the US.

Dalton Brewer began riding with his dad on the family farm's tractor and combine when he was just a baby. Farming has been a family tradition for the Brewer's since 1900, and it's a tradition that the Okeene FFA member intends to continue. Currently, he helps his father and grandfather with work on their 600-acre wheat operation just southwest of Watonga, Oklahoma. Through his placement, he has learned to operate all major types of grain production equipment, and how to scout for insects and disease in determine when chemical application is needed. In the future he hopes to become an agriculture teacher while continuing his family's farming legacy. His dreams are supported by his parents, Kevin and Sharon Brewer and by his FFA advisor, Clayton Fisher.
