In mid-February, FFA chapters across the country will be celebrating National FFA week, giving present and past participants a chance to emphasize how the organization promotes agriculture to U.S. youth.
National FFA Week highlights learning opportunities, service
FFA students have the chance to explore several careers related to agriculture, including meat processing. The North Dakota FFA program has a Mobile Meats Lab that allows students to gain processing skills. Here, Macey Filipek and Tyler McGregor, agricultural education students in Wilton, N.D., grind pork to be processed into breakfast sausage.
