The FFA tribute this week goes to Nick Bush, of the Rossville, Ind. FFA.
Bush is from Rossville, Ind. and with the help of sponsors and funding, the FFA chapter members made their way to Denver, Colorado.
Mike Pearson talks with Bush about agriculture in the area around the FFA Chapter. It is comprised mainly of corn, soybeans and raising cattle.
Bush says some of the best parts of FFA include getting to connect with different people. He says he likes meeting people, something you don't get to do as much unless you are in FFA.
In the future, Bush would like to attend school in Tennessee and major in agriculture engineering. He would also like to study precision agriculture and learn more about drones plus, study soils.
The weekly FFA Chapter Tribute is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the good work of your local chapter. Tell us about what you're doing, give us some history from your group and tell our viewers of the work you do in the community. FFA chapters across the country deserve recognition for the work they do, make sure we include yours.
To have your chapter considered for this weekly feature, send along information about your group by e-mail to Max Armstrong at max@agbizweek.com. They'll get your group on the list of those that will be covered in the future. It's a chance to share your story beyond the local community.
