This year’s South Dakota FFA state convention, held in Brookings, includes over a dozen competitions, a career carnival, a day of service, and according to South Dakota FFA Association Executive Director Gerri Eide, lots of opportunities for students to learn and grow. “It’s a great experience for South Dakota’s youth to connect with industry, network with each other, be recognized for their outstanding successes throughout the year,” Eide says about the event. “There’s a lot packed into two and a half days.”
