The 96th North Dakota FFA State Convention wrapped up in Fargo with a full house and a new slate of state officers. Nearly 1,000 members from 85 chapters attended, along with more than 1,600 family members and supporters. North Dakota State FFA Advisor Nikki Fideldy-Doll said interest in agricultural education is growing quickly. “We continue to get phone calls from schools wanting agricultural education or programs, wanting to increase the number of teachers that they have so they can offer more course offerings,” said Fideldy-Doll. “We need more ag teachers in order to fill those positions and create new positions, that’s heavy on our hearts as we continue to want to grow.”
