Hi, My name is Emma Harvey and I am from Memphis Missouri. I am proud to be serving as your 2023 Missouri Beef Queen. I am the 17 year old daughter of Brian and Brandi Harvey. I have two younger brothers Landon (7), and Brooks (5), and a younger sister Ryan (14). Currently I am enrolled in Scotland County R-1 High school located in Memphis, Missouri. I am a part of FFA, student council, FBLA, Basketball, football and competition cheer, and the FFA trap team. Most of which I hold offices or am on the varsity teams. I was raised on a family farm, raising angus, simmental, and south devon cattle. My family also grows field corn and soybeans. I love advocating for agriculture but In my free time I enjoy doing things outdoors, chores, ATV rides, fishing, hiking, ect. I also love to spend time with my close friends and family. 

After high school, I want to continue my agricultural education at NorthWest Missouri State University. I would like to get a masters degree in science and minor in animal and plant sciences. After graduation my goal is to work at ADM as a livestock nutritionist. I want to thank the Missouri Cattleman and Women's association for giving me this opportunity to further my education and introduce me to people in the business. I am thrilled to teach people about agriculture, and cannot wait for what's next!
