More than 300 (324) South Dakota FFA members will be recognized for receiving their State FFA Degree during the 97th annual South Dakota State FFA Convention next week in Brookings (April 4, 2025, at 4:00 pm).
The State Degree is the highest honor the South Dakota FFA Association can bestow upon its members. In order to achieve the award, members must meet the following requirements; have received their Chapter FFA Degree, been an FFA member and agricultural education student for at least two years, earned at least $2,000, or worked 600 hours in their Supervised Agricultural Experience program, given a six-minute speech about agriculture or FFA, participated in eight different leadership activities, received a “C” average or better in high school and shown a record of outstanding leadership and community involvement.
As a special project of the SD FFA Foundation, South Dakota FFA members will receive the golden charm of the State Degree, a symbol of the member’s growth and development, as well as a framed certificate.
You can also watch the convention live at www.sdaged.org, Newscenter1.tv, and ConnectCenter1.tv and KAUN TV stations.
