BF FFA named 3-star chapter National FFA Organization

INDIANAPOLIS — The Bonners Ferry Future Farmers of America chapter has been recognized by the National FFA Organization for the 2024 National Chapter Award Program. 

The program recognizes outstanding FFA chapters from throughout the country that actively implement the organization's mission and strategies. These chapters improve chapter operations using the National Quality FFA Chapter Standards and a program of activities that emphasizes growing leaders, building communities and strengthening agriculture. Chapters are rewarded for providing educational experiences for the entire membership. 

Chapters that received star ratings during judging this summer will be recognized at the 97th National FFA Convention & Expo, Oct. 23-26. 

The Bonners Ferry FFA has received the award five times in the last six years.

All-star-rated FFA chapters receive honors made possible by corporate sponsor John Deere and New Holland. 

“New Holland is proud to recognize and celebrate the exemplary FFA chapters that are part of the National Chapter Award Program,” Mark Lowery, director of network development at New Holland said. “They are successfully enriching their communities and preparing FFA members to be the future leaders of our company and industry, which is important work that we are honored to support.” 

The National FFA Organization is a school-based national youth leadership development organization of more than 1,027,200 student members as part of 9,235 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
