Celebrating 2024 National FFA Week

FFA chapters around the country are showing support for the organization from February 17-24, 2024. We are proud to back FFA in a variety of ways throughout the year. Building farmers, chemists, government officials, entrepreneurs, international business leaders, teachers, and other premier professionals is important for our future. 

Annually, we provide more than $50,000 to both the state and national levels and sponsor a fleet car driven by state officers and staff. Part of this funding is done through a Check-In to Cash-In program we host at the Farm Progress Show. 

Through the GROWMARK Foundation, we support a variety of events for state and national chapters. We also partner with the Builta family to provide FFA jackets. Since 2019, 125 FFA jackets have been awarded to students in honor of our former Vice President, Mike Builta.

For the past 25 years, our FFA Essay Contest has been rewarding students for their writing skills. The essay helps them learn about current issues affecting agriculture and understanding the unique role of cooperatives.
