Western Farm Show FFA Day benefits food bank
The Western Farm Show opened its three-day run in Kansas City Friday with a special day for agriculture youth.
Show manager Ken Dean tells Brownfield the food donation drive that has become a tradition during the show attracts FFA students by the hundreds. Along with seeing exhibits, Dean says FFA members are offered leadership and personal development sessions including practice job interviews.
“They may see something here that may open their eyes to an opportunity as a different career in agriculture,” Dean told Brownfield Ag News Friday, “and if that happens and we help with that, we’re going to take some pleasure in that.”
The FFA Canned and Nonperishable Food Border Battle between Missouri and Kansas FFA chapters benefits the Harvesters Community Food Network.
The Western Farm Show is at Kansas City’s American Royal Complex through Sunday, February 24th.
