Illinois FFA has hit record student membership this year, despite several semesters of pandemic related challenges.
Executive Director Mindy Bunselmeyer tells Brownfield there are 21,855 students currently involved in Illinois FFA and around 37,000 students enrolled in agriculture classes.
“Those numbers are very exciting especially coming off such a challenging year for our high school ag teacher. I can’t even imagine being in their shoes and trying to teach both remote and in person.
