Agriculture groups are warning that Oregon lawmakers are considering a cut to the FFA program’s funding.
Oregon’s Ag Teachers Association Advocacy Committee is warning that proposed budget cuts could hit ag education hard. The group says Oregon lawmakers are looking at ways to save the state money, and have proposed eliminating state FFA spending, as well as grants for the Summer Ag Teacher program.
If approved, the cuts would take effect during the second year of the state’s two-year budget cycle.
Right now, the Oregon FFA program is home to 15,000 students.
