A Record Year

Thousands of Minnesota FFA members are competing this week in Career Development Events, participating in workshops and delegate sessions. Minnesota FFA Foundation Executive Director Val Aarsvold is also looking forward to general sessions. “We’re going to see a record-breaking year for students earning their Minnesota FFA State Degree with over 450 students earning that prestigious degree.” Ag education delivers hands-on learning, which Aarsvold says is a success. “We graduate our students at a rate ten percent higher than the state average and that’s something we’re really proud of.”
