Special Report

Puerto Rico and FFA

The National FFA Convention draws attendees from all over.  For Puerto Rico’s North District President Teysha Villaneuva her first visit to the National FFA Convention is already exciting and she looks forward to learning more about agriculture.  Villaneuva says Puerto Rico doesn’t have a lot of agriculture, but they are using their FFA experience to educate others about the industry. 

While Villaneuva doesn’t come from an agricultural background, she says over her years of participation in FFA, she has realized how important agriculture is.  Villaneuva tells Brownfield for her it started with an animal health class.  She said when she enrolled in the class she didn’t know it was related to agriculture.  But, when the class began, Villaneuva said the advisor taught the students how the two (agriculture and animal health) were related and also how important agriculture is to everyone.  That was the start of her FFA career.

Villaneuva’s chapter is participating in the livestock evaluation competition while in Indianapolis.
