CEDAR MOUNTAIN PUBLIC SCHOOL

Future Farmers of America

The FFA is an organization made up of students enrolled in vocational agriculture. Its purpose is to provide learning experiences, which cannot be gained in the classroom. To accomplish this, the FFA has a number of activities outside of the classroom such as the state and national conventions, the annual FFA contests, and a number of project shows held in the summer. Meetings are held on a monthly basis.
