National FFA week is quickly approaching. Are you ready?? FFA is an organization where students can join and basically be members all throughout high school and college and even be alumni members. It teaches the member about the different aspects of agriculture and about leadership. It helps the members learn how to spread the word of agriculture and to help them grow to a brighter future. It is supported by the many different chapters all over the United States and also by Carhartt and Tractor Supply Company.
The week of George Washington’s birthday is the week set for National FFA week. It runs from Saturday to Saturday and was started back in 1947. This year it is from February 19th through the 26th. All over the country different chapters of the FFA will celebrate with different activities such as drive your tractor to school day, host different meals, have Ag Olympic competitions, and so much more. The main goal is to help teach the public about agriculture but have fun doing it.
Over the years clubs have even started having canned food drives to help the less fortunate, volunteer at different organizations, and try to promote the FFA to everyone. You don’t have to have an agricultural background to be a part of the FFA. All you need is the love to learn and grow and help support agriculture. So my advice to you the readers, join if you can. You definitely will not regret the decision to join the FFA, it will help you go far.
