Iowa Player with Heart: Mackenzie Cupples

Brownfield Ag News

Mackenzie Cupples was nominated as a Beck’s Player with Heart for her commitment and passion on and off the court. What she loves most about high school sports is that they are a great way to connect with people in her community. Whether it’s new friends or the people in the stands, it’s great to make someone’s day, work with them, or give them a show to watch. Mackenzie is involved with her school's FFA chapter, cheerleading, and tennis. In her community, she has done many service activities. She has helped with a food pantry box at church, ringed bells for the Salvation Army, and volunteered at her local church, toy drives, pet supply drives, and Meals from the Heartland. Agriculture is a huge part of Mackenzie's life and makes her who she is. It is a livelihood and something a person devotes their whole life to. Agriculture isn’t just where she gets her food from, it’s hard work, dedication, and commitment. Mackenzie plans to complete high school and continue to Des Moines Area Community College to begin her animal science and veterinary med studies. Then, after 2 years, she wants to possibly transfer to ISU to further her studies. Along with school, she would like to continue to work on her family farm and grow her business of breeding beef cattle and sweet corn. After college, she hopes to live near Newton, her hometown, and live on her farm while continuing to grow agriculture.
