As part of National FFA Week, Minnesota FFA leaders are already looking ahead to a historic milestone. The organization will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2028 and 2029, and planning is underway for a yearlong celebration to recognize the impact FFA has had across the state. Minnesota FFA Foundation Executive Director Val Aarsvold says the goal is to capture stories from the thousands of Minnesotans whose lives have been shaped by the blue jacket. “We know that they had touched the lives of thousands and thousands of Minnesotans and so we certainly want people to think about and reflect on how FFA helped them grow and develop as a person.” Aarsvold says Minnesota FFA’s longevity comes from staying true to its agricultural roots while expanding opportunities to students from all backgrounds.
