Wisconsin FFA is reaching out to more youth

Wisconsin’s next generation of agricultural leaders is talking about how to get more young people interested in agriculture.

CeAnna Jaeckel is the Vice President of the Palmyra-Eagle FFA Chapter and a candidate for state FFA officer.  She tells Brownfield one of the things delegates will talk about is how to get more middle school and high school students into FFA to prepare them for possible ag careers. “Coming into the future, we’re trying to make it so that science is in there.  Agriculture is nothing without science.  Soil sampling, crops, animal care, I mean it’s all in there so we’re trying to get it back to our communities so we can get more people involved.”

Jaeckel says it’s important to get more young people involved in FFA, whether they come from a farm or a city background.
