Ernst Celebrates National FFA Week

WASHINGTON – In celebration of the vital role FFA and agricultural education play in shaping the future of agriculture, U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) joined a bipartisan group of her colleagues in officially designating February 15-22, 2025, as National FFA Week.

“This outstanding youth organization is critical to helping agricultural education students develop their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success,” said Senator Ernst. “This week is all about championing students who wear the iconic blue corduroy jacket and the hard-working advisors and agricultural educators who support them. FFA programs across Iowa and the country ensure the future of our agriculture community is strong!”
