“Today dozens of Kansas FFA members, Future Farmers of America, are in Indianapolis, Indiana, for the start of the 2009 National FFA Convention. They will be joining students from Pennsylvania to California and more than a dozen high school students from my own district will be competing in various competitions, including Clay Center, Kansas, FFA member Garrett Craig who will be competing for a position as a national FFA officer. Good luck to you, Garrett. While it is known for agriculture education, Kansas FFA chapters are thriving in rural America as well as urban school districts and have introduced thousands of new students to agriculture and ag-related career opportunities. I want to wish all Kansas FFA students participating in Indianapolis this week the best of luck and trust that Kansas will continue its long legacy of premier FFA leadership and achievement. USMCA”
