The Benton Community FFA Chapter will
celebrate National FFA Week, Feb. 17-24, 2018. This FFA Week embraces more than
90 years of FFA traditions while looking forward to the organization’s future. More
than 653,000 members will participate in National FFA Week activities at local,
state and national levels. These members have a passion for agriculture.
Designated a national week in 1947, the week of George
Washington’s birthday, National FFA Week runs from Saturday to Saturday and
gives FFA members an opportunity to educate the public about agriculture.
During the week, chapters conduct a variety of activities to help others in
their school and community learn about FFA and agricultural education.
Today’s FFA members are the innovators and leaders of
tomorrow. Through agricultural and hands-on learning, they are preparing for 255
unique career opportunities in the food, fiber and natural resources industry.
National FFA Week is sponsored by Tractor Supply Company.
The National FFA Organization provides leadership, personal
growth and career success training through agricultural education to 649,355 student
members who belong to one of 7,859 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto
Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The organization is also supported by 225,891
alumni members in 1,934 alumni chapters throughout the U.S.
Congratulations to the Benton Community FFA Chapter!
