Madison Goetz, is proud to come from the small town of Richmond, Missouri, where she grew up on a family farm surrounded by livestock, open fields, and the kind of values that stay with you for life.
Her love for animals started early — feeding cattle with her grandad, witnessing the care farmers put into their work, and learning firsthand the dedication it takes to be part of the agricultural world. More importantly, she was raised in a faith-filled home by a family who taught her to lead with confidence, work hard, and never be afraid to chase big dreams.
That foundation led Madison to Missouri State University, where she is currently studying Animal Science with a focus on Genetics. She has always been fascinated by the science behind animal health and breeding and hopes to use that knowledge to make a meaningful impact in the livestock industry.
When she is not in the classroom or lab, Madison competes with the Missouri State collegiate equestrian team and proudly serves as an Agriculture Ambassador. Through that role, she has had the opportunity to share her passion for agriculture with students, families, and communities — something that continues to fuel her desire to advocate for the industry on a larger scale.
One of Madison’s biggest goals is to help more people understand and appreciate the role agriculture plays in everyday life. As fewer individuals grow up around farms or livestock, it becomes easy to lose the connection to where food, clothing, and everyday essentials come from. She believes that through education, hands-on experiences, and meaningful conversations, a stronger understanding can be built around the hard work and care that go into agriculture. As Miss Rodeo Missouri 2026, Madison plans to use her platform to continue spreading agricultural awareness across the state and beyond.
Whether visiting schools, attending rodeos, or speaking with young leaders, she strives to represent the heart of agriculture with authenticity, energy, and pride.
