ANKENY, Iowa-Students from FFA chapters across Iowa were involved in a once in a lifetime opportunity the week of January 9, 2017. The National FFA Experience State Week program selected the Iowa FFA Association as the 2017 host. This week-long program was an activity of the National FFA Organization made possible with support from Animal Health International through the Iowa FFA Foundation.The entire National FFA Officer team toured the state, providing leadership workshops and keynote speeches to FFA members across the state.

Several members of the GMG FFA Chapter attended an all day VISION Conference at the Iowa FFA Enrichment Center in Ankeny, Iowa on January 14th, 2017. During the day long event students worked together with other members from across the state to learn more about developing a vision for the future of their FFA chapters as well as their own futures. It was a great day for our members to help plan the future of the GMG FFA Chapter and to learn more about working as a team to develop programs that will enrich our school, community, and Iowa agriculture.
