I plan to introduce a resolution designating the week of February 17th through the 24th, 2024 as Future Farmers of America (FFA) Week in Pennsylvania.

The FFA is a national organization that seeks to engage our youth, while promoting the future of agriculture through education. Pennsylvania’s four FFA regions are comprised of over 13,600 student members, while nationwide the organization’s numbers have grown to over a half million. FFA members are encouraged to participate in career and leadership development events; compete at the chapter, regional, state, and national levels; and benefit from gaining real-life, hands-on experience. Trademarked by their traditional blue corduroy jackets, young men and women with diverse backgrounds serve their chapters, their communities, and their country through this exemplary youth organization.

Please join me in co-sponsoring this resolution, which the Senate has historically adopted to honor and congratulate the members, advisors, and parents involved in the Pennsylvania FFA.
