The Doña Ana County Fair is just the beginning!

For many FFA students, months of hard work, dedication and preparation come together at the fair, but earning top honors is only the start of a busy competition season.

From the New Mexico State Fair in September to the El Paso County Fair and Southern New Mexico State Fair, these students will continue showcasing their skills, knowledge and award-winning animals. For many, the journey will ultimately lead to state and national competitions, where they represent their schools and Southern New Mexico on an even bigger stage.

Take a look at these future leaders as they prepare to showcase their animals and all the hard work that goes into raising them.

The future of agriculture is in good hands!
