The South Dakota FFA Convention starts on Tuesday. This year, the convention will be virtual, streaming on the South Dakota FFA Facebook page and website. South Dakota FFA State Reporter Sadie Vander Wal says each of the three sessions will look different than usual, but the high energy will continue. “We’ll be recognizing our scholarship winners and sponsors each night. We’ll also hear from a National FFA Officer, too. It will be different and exciting for all of us.” The Time is Now is the theme for this year’s convention. “Our organization used to be called the Future Farmers of America and we like to think of ourselves not as the leaders for tomorrow, but the leaders of today. Our members are making a difference in their communities now, more than ever,” says Vander Wal. “During this global pandemic, the time is now to get up, get going and keep on with life. We never realized how applicable our theme would be until now.” Read the South Dakota FFA Convention program and watch the sessions. The Red River Farm Network’s coverage of the South Dakota FFA Convention is made possible by the South Dakota Farmers Union and South Dakota Corn Utilization Council.
