FFA Chapters Like Charles City Improve Leadership, Public Speaking Skills

National FF Week comes to a close Saturday (02.24).

Senior Taylor Quade is president of the Charles City Chapter of FFA.

Quade has come out of her own shell being in FFA, as evidenced by a recent public speaking engagement.

Even though he’s grown up living near a golf course and not on a farm, sophomore Bryce Walker has been in the Charles City FFA for three years. 

Walker says he hopes to become an FFA officer one day.

Heidi Hull, advisor for the Nashua-Plainfield FFA, says membership also opens the door for students to score scholarships for college.

Hull says she likes to recruit students to FFA by asking them “Why Not?”
