The 98th Annual State FFA Convention of the Missouri FFA Association is excited to be holding sessions in Mizzou Arena for the first time this year. Columbia, Missouri welcomes us to town for this special event where Missouri FFA members will be recognized and rewarded for their hard work and achievements throughout the past year. The Convention theme this year is “Embrace Your Journey.” For 98 years, agricultural education students have embraced their journey through our organization in classrooms across the state to develop and expand their knowledge in the areas of applied science, technical and employability skills, while learning about our nation’s no. 1 industry: AGRICULTURE. Missouri FFA members have embraced their journey by sharing their passion for agriculture with Supervised Agricultural Experience programs in areas such as animal agriculture, crop production, mechanics and agriscience. Over the years, FFA has adjusted to reflect our everchanging society and has helped its members embrace their journey as individuals to be leaders and innovators within our industry. We hope that as you represent your school and community, you wear your official dress with pride. We hope that you can “Embrace Your Journey” toward the future as you thirst for knowledge and sharpen the skills FFA has helped you develop, and you are empowered to share the vastness of the agricultural industry with those around you.
