LEARNING TO DO, DOING TO LEARN. "Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will in the end contribute most to real wealth, good morals and happiness." This was said by Thomas Jefferson, Founding Father and third President of the United States. An entire week was devoted to supporting agricultural education and the role the National FFA Organization plays in the development of agriculture’s future leaders. FFA Week was celebrated from February 18th through the 25th.
