Our members attended ND FFA Leadership Conference in Bismarck this weekend! Highlights include:

🔹Blue conference members participated in a community service project through Birthday Beacon and Jessy’s Toy Box creating FFA themed stuffed animals and birthday baskets to distribute at Sanford Children’s Hospital!

🔸Gold conference members were encouraged to “become uncomfortable” in their leadership journeys so they can continue to grow as leaders! Members in this conference also created FFA TikToks to help promote our organization!

🔹101 conference members participated in a game of “Clue”. Throughout the conference, they set out to “crack the case” and “find the missing clue” about what it takes to become a great leader!

🔸Lizzy attended the Aspire conference! This conference is designed for senior FFA members who have an interest in running for state office! She had a blast!

🔹We were also reunited with some familiar faces who helped facilitate the 101 and Aspire conferences! 👀

Velva Community Orchard produce is READY for YOU to pick! Our grape vines and apple trees have worked overtime this summer to produce delicious fruit!

For this year, we would like to open the orchard up to the public! Anyone is welcome to come pick fruit! There are several varieties of both apples and grapes. The apples would be great for baking, canning, dehydrating, making applesauce, or even to eat as a snack! The grapes can also be eaten or turned into yummy jelly!

The orchard is located on the south side of Central Ave as you head east out of town towards Karlsruhe. Feel free to contact Mrs. Fannik if you have any questions!

Please, come help yourself! 🍎🍇🍏

The Next Gen: Animal Systems Conference has come to a close. Lizzy spent the past three days with FFA members from across the country, broadening her awareness of animal agriculture careers!

In addition to attending animal agriculture industry tours, Lizzy also participated in industry roundtable discussions with professionals from the Kansas City area, and engaged in community group activities relating to employability skills and animal product marketing!

We have arrived in Kansas City for the National FFA Next Gen Animal Systems Conference! Lizzy and Mrs. Fannik traveled down with Miss Tonnessen and Miryilyn from the Rugby FFA Chapter. 75 FFA members from across the nation were selected to participate in this conference. 10 of those 75 members at this conference are from North Dakota! Thanks to Miss Tonnessen, we had a very productive morning in KC before the conference even began!

We met up with Dustin Hessman, President of Central States Testing, to learn about the importance of BVD-PI testing in cattle. He gave us a demonstration of how to run one of their tests! He also introduced us to their equine and ruminant early pregnancy blood tests, which can detect viable pregnancies very early in gestation!

Through Dustin, we were then able to arrange a tour of the Dairy Farmers of America global headquarters! We were given a tour of the facility, learned about the importance of the DFA cooperative for the dairy industry across the country, and even made a stop at their milk bar!

Both experiences were fantastic. An excellent way to kick off what’s sure to be a great week for Lizzy learning even more about animal agriculture!
