Well another fair is in the books and it was a great one. Our FFA students were in multiple barns this year and works really hard on their projects and that work paid off, these kids did great and had a great time. Here are just a few photos, as we were so busy we still need to gather a few. Students showed ducks, dairy feeders, goats, sheep and beef feeders.

This is one of our FFA officers who is a member of the Agri-Tech class. Wyatt Loar also participates in 4-H and won special honors on his hay sample in he brought from home. Congratulations Wyatt!

One of our Biochem students, Elizabeth Erway, participated in 4-H sewing as a static project this year. Elizabeth creates a dress each year for prom and participated this year in the 4-H Runway show. She has been sewing for 7 years and hopes to inspire future seamstresses with her flair for creating prom dresses. Congratulations Elizabeth!

We would love to put together an Alumni team! Contact Andie Lee if you are interested!

Together we can continue to promote agriculture by raising money for local FFA's at our 2nd Annual Membership Golf Outing! You do not have to be a member to participate or become a sponsor. Teams and sponsors, register here

2022 Michigan FFA Matching Gift Campaign

Double the impact of your gift to FFA!
Most agriculture jobs require more than a high school degree, however only 3% of college students are pursuing a degree in agriculture. Michigan FFA is dedicated to closing the skills gap by equipping students with agriculture and business skills as well as the leadership abilities necessary to succeed.

For a limited time, Crystal Flash is matching every dollar donated to the Michigan FFA Glassbrook Endowment Fund during this campaign, up to $10,000. Make your gift today and double your impact!

Your donation to the Michigan FFA Glassbrook Endowment Fund will provide students with opportunities to invest in themselves through leadership programs, real-world experiences, career development events and the State FFA Convention. More so, your donation could subsidize achievement awards and scholarships, ensuring that our students can further their ag education.

Your support can help current students grow their love of agriculture and become leaders in their industries.
