The Centennial FFA Chapter in Seward County, Neb. is excited about this year ahead of us, yet reflecting on last year’s success. We had numerous teams and individuals qualify for the Nebraska State FFA Convention held in downtown Lincoln this past April. As a chapter, we are very proud of our members and the success they achieved.
