Why FFA in the USA?
There are many opportunities in FFA, such as competitions, conventions and so much more. One of those opportunities stands out a bit differently from the rest. It’s called FFA in the USA.
FFA in the USA is a National FFA program led by Mrs. Julie Woodard and many other hardworking members of the program. FFA in the USA is a remote opportunity, where students are encouraged to write articles that highlight agriculture and FFA.
Is it Just Writing?
FFA in the USA is not just about writing articles; while that may be its main goal, it provides so many other different opportunities. You receive monthly Zoom trainings, which teach you how to write quality articles and how to use the platform.
In addition, some meetings are set aside for parties, to network with other reporters and to hear from big names in the agriculture industry. For example, Courtenay DeHoff spoke at the FFA in the USA virtual Christmas party.
