Strengthening Agriculture

Our chapter has a test plot every year that is managed by a group of students who help with contacting seed dealers, planting, harvesting, and organizing the test plot night.

Students from the Ag Leadership class work with 4th grade teachers and students each spring to present agricultural based lessons in the classroom. Some topics include agriculture then and now, history of agriculture, and agricultural technology.

Chapter officers will have a booth at the club fair in the spring. They go to promote and recruit incoming freshmen.

Each year, during the week of George Washington’s birthday, FFA members,
advisors, alumni and supporters celebrate the organization’s contributions to local schools, communities and the agriculture industry through National FFA Week.

FFA Week

Each year the chapter will set a date and location to have our annual chapter picture taken. An FFA member will then design the poster and each active, dues paying members will receive a chapter poster. Chapter posters must also be hung downtown at local business supporters.

The Dewitt Central FFA Boosters hold a toy show every year in March. Members go to help with loading and unloading of toys, set up and tear down.

Toy Show

The mobile ag education trailer travels around to different events in the community to educate consumers about various ag products, commodities, and technology. Members design banners, games, and interactive manipulatives.

Classroom Instruction

Members sell new chapter apparel to family members and members of the
community to show the support our community has for FFA as well as raise funds for the chapter.

On farmer day of homecoming week the members prepare information regarding a farm safety topic and present it to the fourth grade students at the Intermediate school.

This committee focuses on recruitment, safety, support and agricultural literacy and advocacy.

Each winter our chapter members help out at our FFA Boosters concession stands. We assist at every girls home basketball game for the season. All chapter members are encouraged to help. This also serves as a great way to get to know our local Boosters members.
