Sussex Central FFA Boosters

Our 2026-2027 officers came together for part 1 of their mini chapter officer leadership team retreat today. They planned out all their officer and member meetings for the year. We are excited to see what they accomplish with our members!

Over the past several days, our Level 1, 2, and 3 Plant Science students took on the exciting challenge of designing and creating the Class of 2026 graduation floral arrangements. Their hard work, creativity, and attention to detail helped make this special occasion even more beautiful.

Congratulations to the Class of 2026! We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Our farm had more visitors today and Monday! We welcomed North Georgetown 1st graders to experience our farm and learn all about agriculture. We are excited to see what these young learners will do in their future and hope to see them in our Agriculture classes soon!

The past 2 days, we had the pleasure of welcoming the Kindergarten students from Long Neck Elementary School to our Sussex Central Farm for a fun-filled day of hands-on learning and exploration!

Throughout their visit, students had the opportunity to learn about tractor and lawnmower safety, explore marine life through an interactive obstacle course, discover the life cycle of a sunflower while planting seeds in the greenhouse, and spend time feeding and petting our farm animals. The day was filled with excitement, curiosity, and meaningful experiences that connected students to agriculture, nature, and animal care.

We loved seeing so many smiles, questions, and eager learners throughout the day. Thank you to the students, teachers, and chaperones from Long Neck Elementary for visiting us and making the days so special!

The Sussex Central FFA and Agriculture Department are incredibly grateful for our partnership with the Howard T. Ennis students. We truly enjoy introducing and teaching them about the world of agriculture.

Yesterday, with the help of our Sussex Central students and FFA members, we had the opportunity to provide Howard T. Ennis students with meaningful, hands-on agricultural experiences. Students interacted with our livestock by feeding them, walking them, and simulating shearing. They also created their own flower bouquets using pruners and planted sunflower seeds to take home and watch grow throughout the summer.

We had the opportunity to host our own in-house livestock show, where our livestock showmen helped Sussex Central Howard T. Ennis students participate in a real-world livestock show experience.

We are thankful for the opportunity to share the importance of agriculture and show that agriculture is for everyone.

As we prepare to celebrate Mother’s Day tomorrow, we want to recognize and thank the mothers, grandmothers, daughters, sisters, and mentors who make an impact both on and off the farm.

Women across Delaware agriculture help keep our farms, families, and communities thriving! Their dedication and hard work shape the future of farming every day.

Happy Mother’s Day weekend to all the incredible women in agriculture!

Thank you to everyone who came out to make our 1st day so successful! We will be open tomorrow from 9-3.
