It was another successful North Dakota FFA convention. North Dakota FFA Foundation Executive Director Laiken DeMorrett says that would not be possible without its supporters. “We fundraise 90 percent of our annual operating budget every year, about $700,000, so literally, we wouldn’t be able to provide the impact that our programs offer without their support.” The support from agribusiness and farm and ranch families is valued. “North Dakota has the highest FFA membership per capita in the country. It’s one of our leading industries in the state, and the people show up again and again in support of these kids.”
