Osawatomie FFA Chapter

HAPPY FFA WEEK!!!

A spotlight of an awesome young Osawatomie FFA Alumni member! Way to represent yourself, your school, and your FFA Chapter! We are proud of you Grace!

Her FFA journey sparked a passion for agriculture.
K-State helped her turn it into a career. 🌾🥖

Grace Young reflects on her time in FFA: "FFA prepared me for success in college and life by giving me hands‑on experiences that strengthened both my technical and communication skills. Competing in agronomy taught me how to think critically and solve problems, while public speaking helped me learn to communicate clearly in any setting.
Earning my American Degree was especially meaningful. Teaching Kansas Corn lessons in my after‑school program showed me how to connect with students, guide their learning, and grow as a leader.
FFA did not just prepare me academically, it helped me grow into someone who leads with purpose, communicates with confidence and is not afraid to take on new challenges. "

As a double major in Bakery Science and Milling Science, she’s learned how grain becomes the foods we rely on every day — and after graduation, she’ll be putting that knowledge to work full-time at Ardent Mills.

From blue corduroy to industry leader — that’s the power of FFA. 💙

Have you seen these signs around town? Those are ours! We will be having a mattress fundraiser in the Mac Steele Gym on Sunday, March 8, 2026, from 10 am to 5 pm!

We are working with a company who has worked with other FFA chapters and they are awesome! They will be setting up their huge display in the Mac Steele Gym, we would love for you to stop by! The mattresses are the same you can find in big retailers at a lower price. The best part is, they split the profit with the Osawatomie FFA!!!
