In June 2016 members of the Sullivan FFA Chapter will celebrate Indiana agriculture and Indiana’s Bicentennial by traveling the state and touring farms, agribusinesses, and other highlighted partners in Indiana agriculture. Through this experience, Sullivan FFA members will learn about Indiana’s rich history and promising future in the agriculture industry. Students will also explore the wide array of career opportunities in the agriculture industry in an effort to inform and inspire them to seek future careers in our nation’s most important industry—agriculture.
