This year acknowledges the 36th year that the three independent Farm Credit Services associations in North Dakota have donated FFA Handbooks to agricultural students in area schools.
This year, approximately eighty high school agriculture education programs in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota will receive over 2,600 of the student handbooks for the start of the 2012/2013 school year donated by the Farm Credit Services Associations in North Dakota.
Over the past three and a half decades more than 63,000 of the books have been presented to FFA-first year ‘greenhands’ to be used throughout the four-year FFA program.
To ensure the continued success of our youth, in 2011 Farm Credit Services of North Dakota contributed close to $10,000 in order to support the FFA organizations in the 17 counties it serves in northwest North Dakota. Farm Credit Services is proud to support today’s youth who will become tomorrow’s agricultural producers and leaders.
Farm Credit Services is committed to helping the FFA provide excellence in the teaching and learning of agriculture and its activities in science, technology, production, processing, and related agribusiness activities as well as understand the vital and necessary role of the agricultural industry.
