FFA chapters across the nation are hosting events to give their members the opportunity to connect with the public on agriculture-related topics.

This week, more than half a million members will participate in National FFA Week activities at local, state and national levels. This year’s theme, Ignite, embraces more than 80 years of FFA traditions, while looking forward to the organization’s future.

The groups will host teacher appreciation breakfasts, competitions, public speaking engagements and other events in their communities.

FFA week continues through Sunday. For more information, visit FFA.org.
