FFA serves the community

We saw what an impact the Hartford Union High School Day of Service had on area nonprofits, businesses and other areas on Wednesday, May 20.

President of the Wisconsin State FFA Officer Team Amalia Draxler told the Midwest Farm Report that this summer’s state convention emphasizes serving the community.

"The Day of Service is going to take place and kickoff our convention. We have over eleven different sites that students will go out to across the Madison area. Our sponsors have helped us put together an amazing service project, which is a food packaging project."

They are hoping to package over 10,000 meals that will go across the community.            

The 97th Wisconsin State FFA Convention and Expo will take place June 15 to June 18 at the Alliant Energy Center, in Madison. 

This three-day event brings together students, agricultural educators, and industry leaders from across the state.
