Yesterday (Tuesday), District 11 Representative Brian Best of Glidden welcomed local FFA members to the Iowa House for the 38th annual Legislative Symposium and FFA Day at the Capitol. The program, hosted by the Iowa FFA Association, was created to build character and promote citizenship, volunteerism, and patriotism in its members. Students met with their local legislators to learn about the legislative process, discuss issues facing the agricultural industry, and encourage their representatives and senators to continue supporting ag education and the FFA. Over 500 students from 70 chapters throughout Iowa attended Tuesday’s symposium, including the IKM-Manning and Carroll Area FFA Chapters. Photos from the students’ visit can be found included below.
