Bottineau FFA Chapter alum and North Dakota Soybean Council Director Philip Neubauer says he is a farmer today because of his time spent in FFA. “FFA definitely has shaped my career into what it is. I would say I probably didn’t want to farm back then, but my advisor got me involved in the agronomy contest, and as the youngest of four siblings who were in FFA contests, I had to.” Neubauer says FFA is for everyone. “Whether you grew up with agriculture or not, it’s an organization that grows future leaders going forward, and I think everybody should give it a shot.”
