Why you say #ThankstoFFA

Happy National FFA Week!

We asked FFA members and alumni to tell us what FFA means to them by saying thanks to FFA. From making new friends, to leadership and preparing for the future, our readers had a lot to say about the organization.

Throughout FFA week (Feb. 20-27) we will be adding your posts to our online gallery and sharing them on our social media pages with the hashtag #ThankstoFFA. Check back daily for new images.

There is still time to share why you say #ThankstoFFA. Download a sign here and email your picture to editor@farmanddairy.com or use #ThankstoFFA and tag us on social media like our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
