OAKLAND, Ore. (RFD-TV) — Oregon FFA is facing potential state budget cuts that could impact agricultural education programs and more than 15,000 students across the state. Lawmakers are reportedly considering eliminating state funding for Oregon FFA and grants that support ag educators.
Kjer Kizer, CEO of Oregon FFA, joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss the proposed budget reductions, potential consequences, and the importance of protecting opportunities for students interested in agriculture.
In her interview with RFD-TV News, Kizer explained that Oregon FFA plays a critical role in supporting students involved in agricultural education and Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. She outlined how cuts to funding could affect classrooms, teachers, and student opportunities, emphasizing that participation in FFA is growing rapidly.
Kizer also highlighted the importance of programs like FFA, summer ag education grants, and CTE pathway grants in preparing students for real-world careers. She encouraged viewers who care about agricultural education and workforce development to take action to support Oregon FFA.
“I’m not sure where this bridge goes,” trader Brady Huck with Advanced Trading told RFD-TV News earlier this week.
