National FFA Officers recently took the trip of a lifetime to Japan where they experienced the country’s agriculture.
The impressive young leaders partnered with their sister organization Future Farmers of Japan. The trip included a traditional tea ceremony and green tea factory tour, briefings with leaders at the U.S. embassy, and a visit to a local bamboo forest.
National FFA Eastern Region VP Caroline Groth said, “Although the world is expansive and diverse and agricultural and cultural practices differ from place to place, we’re all working toward the same goal of making our families, communities, and world better.”
