Indiana FFA State Officers traveling the state

To help local FFA Chapters across the state celebrate National FFA Week, the 7 Indiana State FFA Officers are travelling the state. Daniel Bechman serves as State Treasurer.

“National FFA Week is really all about the local chapters and members getting out in their schools and communities and really show their pride for FFA and also get out there and teach a little bit about what the FFA is all about and what we do,” said Daniel Bechman, Indiana FFA State Treasurer. “It’s really all about spreading the word and good stuff about FFA.”

Bechman, a member of the Franklin FFA Chapter will be visiting over a dozen FFA Chapters himself this week.

“My goal is to be able to see the excitement reflected in members and really be able to boost that excitement if you will from members is what I’m hoping to be able to do,” Bechman said. “I just want to be able to see how excited and how well FFA can present itself this week.”

After his year as a State Officer, Bechman will enroll at Purdue University this fall, majoring in plant genetics and plant breeding, with a career goal of becoming a plant breeder, a career that his FFA experience is preparing him for.
