Mike Pearson talks with Natalie Pratt, Illinois FFA State President about her service as the president and what it means to her.
The FFA tribute this week goes to Natalie Pratt, Illinois FFA State President, who lives in Amboy, Illinois. She says row crops including corn and soybeans are mostly grown there. She is working to connect with chapters all cross Illinois and to know their stories. There are 48,000 FFA members in Illinois.
The weekly FFA Chapter Tribute is an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the good work of your local chapter. Tell us about what you're doing, give us some history from your group and tell our viewers of the work you do in the community. FFA chapters across the country deserve recognition for the work they do, make sure we include yours.
To have your chapter considered for this weekly feature, send along information about your group by e-mail to Max Armstrong at [email protected]. They'll get your group on the list of those that will be covered in the future. It's a chance to share your story beyond the local community.
