Three Litchfield seniors have had a huge impact on the Litchfield FFA program. These students have been active in chapter activities, as well as chapter leadership. In addition to their commitment to Litchfield FFA, they have also been active in other school activities, athletics and of course their SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experience) projects.
