The State FFA Vice-President made a chapter visit to the Dexter FFA Chapter on Thursday, September 13th. He didn’t have far to go since this year’s State FFA Vice-President representing Area 16 is Sam Turner of Bernie.
Sam Turner is a senior at Bernie High School and a very active member of the Bernie FFA Chapter. During the visit, Sam spoke to four of Dexter’s high school agriculture classes. He shared with them the importance of being an FFA member, and the things FFA can do if they take advantage of it.
Part of Sam Turner’s yearlong service to the FFA is to make chapter visits to all the FFA chapters in the Area he is from.
Turner will be away from home approximately sixty days this year and will travel nearly 10,000 miles to represent the FFA. He encouraged two ninth grade AG Science I classes to get involved, set their priorities, and stay focused on their goals.
