Iowa FFA President Chloe Zittergruen will be one of four National FFA members who will be representing agricultural youth across the country in Washington, D.C., for National Ag Day on Tuesday, March 24th. This year’s event theme, “Together We Grow,” honors 250 years of agricultural progress since the inception of the United States. Zittergruen said she is honored to be attending an event of this scale.
Zittergruen will represent National FFA as a student panelist during the Ag Day at USDA event, which takes place Tuesday morning at the USDA Whitten Patio. She said she looks forward to highlighting Iowa’s excellence in agricultural production.
While tomorrow’s focus is specifically on agriculture, Zittergruen said she will also speak on National FFA’s ability to prepare students with professional skills even outside of farm, fuel, and fiber.
Agriculture is an industry that is truly open to anyone, and Zittergruen said she encourages all students to give FFA a shot, even if they don’t live on a farm themselves.
Zittergruen added that she is also looking forward to Iowa FFA Convention, which will be taking place right about one month from now.
FFA members and supporters across the country are invited to join the Ag Day virtual event starting at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 24. Register to participate in the virtual celebration here.
