Listen "Ag Makes the World Go 'Round: FFA in SFSD"
Episode Synopsis
Did you eat something today? Did you put clothes on before you left the house? If you did either of these things, you should thank a farmer! It's no secret that agriculture is one of the top job sectors in South Dakota, and the Sioux Falls School District is proud to be preparing students for a future in the industry!
Agriculture classes at the Career and Technical Education Academy (CTE) have been offered for a few years now, and every year the program continues to grow and expand. Recently, plans were announced to greatly expand ag course offerings and even expand the building at CTE with the addition of a barn! This is big news for all students who are looking to enter the world of ag after they graduate.
Future Farmers of America (FFA) has also been expanding over the last few years. Kimmie Martin, who teaches agriculture at CTE, started the program and has been helping students get involved with agriculture at all kinds of different levels. Her passion for agriculture inspires students, and that inspiration is sure to help cultivate the next generation of leaders in one of South Dakota's number one industries.
