MVCTC FFA Members Volunteer at Fall Fest
Englewood, Ohio – Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) students from Agriculture & Livestock Production, Natural Resource Management, and Veterinary Science volunteered at the annual Fall Fest held at Montgomery Soil and Water Conservation District Sycamore Conservation Education Demonstration Farm (MCSWCD).
MCSWCD Fall Fest gave our students the opportunity to display, interact, model, and encourage visitors to see how important FFA is to the future of Agriculture. This was displayed by members bringing ambassador animals, providing pony rides, and bringing nature samples.
Students from Natural Resource Management demonstrated plant and animal identification.
Agriculture & Livestock Production provided information on animals, crops, and agriculture as a whole.
Veterinary Science shared knowledge on horses by having pony rides.
MVCTC FFA Reporter, Haley Roberts shared, “We really enjoyed this experience and encourage others to attend next year!”
The letters “FFA” originally stood for Future Farmers of America. These letters are a part of our history and our heritage that will never change. But FFA is not just for students who want to be production farmers; FFA also welcomes members who aspire to careers as teachers, doctors, scientists, business owners, and more. For this reason, the name of the organization was updated in 1988 after a vote of national convention delegates to reflect the growing diversity and new opportunities in the industry of agriculture.
Today, the National FFA Organization remains committed to the individual student, providing a path to achievement in premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.
FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet those challenges by helping its members to develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of agricultural career pathways. So today, we are still the Future Farmers of America. But, we are the Future Biologists, Future Chemists, Future Veterinarians, Future Engineers, and Future Entrepreneurs of America, too
