Youth In Ag Groups Attending National Ag Day Activities

Chuck Zimmerman

One of the best parts of National Ag Day Activities is seeing and meeting all the young people who attend. Most are receiving support to come to Washington, DC through the organization they belong to. We have a lot of blue coats here for example.

I met two of them this morning and asked what brought them to the events. They are high school FFA members who applied at the urging of their adviser. They’ve been here two days so far and they feel like they’ve learned a lot, including how to do interviews. I think you’ll find they do a good job of that!

Listen to my interview with these FFA members here: Interview with FFA Members
