Fort Frye FFA members had the opportunity to travel across the sea and learn about ag in Ireland

Since 1928, the National FFA Organization has been building the next generation of leaders in agriculture and beyond.
One way they do this is through hands-on, real-world experiences.

Recently, a group of Ohio FFA members traveled to Ireland for an international trip exploring agriculture alongside their peers.

Fort Frye FFA Members, Julia Silvus and Kallie Boley spoke with RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender about the purpose of this trip, their experience, and what they learned.
