National FFA Week begins Feb. 19

Science and technology have always been a part of agriculture, the plow, the water pumps, the combustion engine all advanced the US as a nation. Now, extensive and sophisticated breeding programs, inseminating animals, even altering DNA, are considered standard practices. 

Working to further these advancements one will find biologists, engineers and farmers who were part of the Future Farmers of America or the FFA.

National FFA Week kicks off Feb. 19. Every year, FFA chapters around the country celebrate National FFA Week. This is an opportunity to share what FFA is and the impact it has on members every day.

During an appearance on Sheridan Meida’s Public Pulse program Sheridan John B. Kendrick FFA Vice President Jhett West informed listeners a little on what the FFA can do for students. 

Students will begin the week by preparing breakfast for their teachers and decorating windows downtown.
