FFA Today: Students Gain Skills from Nursery Landscaping to Food Processing

Success requires more than talent — on this week’s FFA Today, agriculture students show us the hard work, dedication, and teamwork required to gain important skills outside of the classroom through the National FFA Organization.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD NEWS) — On this week’s FFA Today, Lilly Prior introduces viewers to a group of students whose countless hours of preparation helped them reach the national stage. From national championships to real-world agriculture, FFA students are building skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom. Then, we travel to Arkansas to meet a student gaining hands-on experience in food processing. Through her supervised agricultural experience, Adalyn is developing practical skills that will last a lifetime, a reminder of how FFA helps students turn learning into real-world success.
