Monday is George Washington’s birthday, which also serves as the anchor of National FFA Week. Missouri FFA State President Justin Eddy reflects on what National FFA Week means to him.

Eddy is a member of the Columbia FFA Chapter and a senior at Hickman High School. He describes how his chapter, whose members are from all three of the district’s high schools, usually mark the start of the week.

National FFA Week began Saturday and will continue through the 27th.
