“The relevance of agriculture and the security of our country’s food, fiber and natural resources systems has never been more important,” National FFA CEO Mark Poeschl said in a news release. “Our FFA members are the future generation of leaders who will be making an impact in the industry. As we continue to bring agricultural education and FFA to more students, we see the enthusiasm of this generation reflected in the growth of our organization.”
