Big Foot Union FFA members were among the nearly 200 high school students who attended the Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s FFA Farm Forum in Wisconsin Rapids Feb. 17 and 18.
“Wisconsin Farm Bureau takes pride in hosting this special event with the FFA to help develop our next generation of agriculture leaders,” Jim Holte, Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation President, said.
During the two-day event at Hotel Mead in Wisconsin Rapids, FFA members from throughout the state attended workshops that covered topics including post-high school agricultural opportunities, social media, agriculture advocacy and leadership.
Joining Holte as keynote speakers at the event were Mark Holley, a meteorologist, and Chris and Amy Blakeney, owners of Amazing Grace Family Farm.
The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation sponsors the FFA Farm Forum in cooperation with the Wisconsin Association of FFA. This year’s event marks the 45th year the Farm Bureau family of affiliates has sponsored the event for Wisconsin youth.
