The FFA tribute this week goes to Ethan Bremmer, Illinois FFA State Reporter.
Bremmer grew up on his family farm outside of Pearl City, Illinois and is the fifth generation to live on it. His family raises corn, soybeans and dairy replacement heifers. In addition, he started a company with his brothers and cousins called Spring Valley Aviation which does custom spraying with drones for fungicide on corn and soybeans. He says FFA not only had an impact on him but has helped him have an impact on others by being a leader in agriculture.
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.
