Indiana will have 100 FFA students competing at the 98th Annual National FFA Convention this week in a variety of Career Development Events and Leadership Development events.
“It is always an exciting time of year when the FFA corduroy jackets descend on Indianapolis for the National FFA Convention,” said Don Lamb, director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. “I recognize the many hours of preparation the students put into being able to compete at the national convention, and I get energized by seeing the passion Hoosier FFA students and their advisors display. I know Indiana has a bright future ahead.”
Students will compete in career leadership events such as Environment and Natural Resources, Forestry, Veterinary Science, Floriculture, and others. Others will compete in leadership development events such as Extemporaneous Public Speaking, the Agricultural Issues Forum, and Creed Speaking.
The following students from Argos FFA will be competing at the 98th National FFA Convention in the Milk Quality and Products: Jack Jones, Cameron Duff, Aiden Samuels, and Xander Binfet.
