This year acknowledges the 38th year that the three independent Farm Credit Services associations in North Dakota have donated FFA Handbooks to agricultural students in area schools.
This year, approximately eighty high school agriculture education programs in North Dakota and northwest Minnesota will receive over 2,500 of the student handbooks for the start of the 2014/2015 school year donated by the Farm Credit Services Associations in North Dakota.
Over the past three and a half decades more than 68,000 of the books have been presented to FFA-first year ‘greenhands’ to be used throughout the four-year FFA program.
Farm Credit Services of North Dakota is committed to supporting organizations, programs and initiatives dedicated to advancing agriculture. From encouraging the new generation of agriculture producers and youth, through programs such as FFA, we are strengthening our commitment to a thriving rural America – now and in the future.
We proudly support the FFA which provides excellence in the teaching and learning of agriculture and its activities in science, technology, production, processing, and related agribusiness activities as well as helping educate and understand the vital and necessary role of the agricultural industry.
At Farm Credit Services of North Dakota we strongly support the FFA organizations in the 17 counties we serve in northwest North Dakota knowing today’s youth will become tomorrow’s agricultural producers and leaders.
The three independent North Dakota Farm Credit associations are headquartered in Minot (www.farmcreditnd.com), Fargo (www.agcountry.com), and Mandan (www.farmcreditmandan.com). Farm Credit Services has been serving rural America for 98 years
