Junior People in Agriculture

Explore agricultural careers while working on your public speaking skills

This event is designed to develop leadership communication skills while also providing an understanding and awareness of careers in agriculture for sixth, seventh and eighth grade members of the FFA. Students are expected to create a poster that provides an overview of six different careers. Students will then choose one of those careers to develop a summary and discuss that career with a panel of judges.
