Passion and Purpose: Former National FFA Advisor shares about his time in the organization

National FFA Week has wrapped but the excitement surrounding the organization and its membership, well, that stays with you, and that is proven by retired National FFA Advisor, Dr. Larry Case.

He began his career in 1966 as an agriculture education instructor at a rural high school. Dr. Case also served as the National Advisor, Chief Administrator, and Chairman of the Board of Directors and as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the National FFA Foundation.

Janet Adkison had the opportunity to sit down with him to talk about his time in the organization and a new venture he plans to tackle this year.
