DeWitt Central FFA
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.
Committee Members
Boosters Concessions
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.

Activities
Back to school barbecue is our first informal meeting of the year where chapter members and their families are invited to attend and learn what the view and direction the new officers will be steering the chapter towards. A potluck style meal is served and members bring a dish and enjoy activities and fun.

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.
