🌾 Cobden FFA Celebrates National Ag Day! 🌾
Today, we kicked off National Ag Day with something every farmer loves—a big cup of coffee to start the day right! Our officers had the privilege of speaking to 8th graders about the importance of agriculture, Ag science, and all the wonderful things Cobden FFA has to offer.
At lunch, we indulged in a busy farmer's favorite—PIZZA 🍕 While enjoying our tasty meal, FFA members engaged in an intense game of FFA/Ag Trivia, showcasing their knowledge and love for agriculture!
A huge THANK YOU to all the farmers and agriculture workers for your hard work and dedication! We also want to extend our gratitude to the Union County Farm Bureau for joining us in the celebrations on National Ag Day!
Additionally, a heartfelt thank you to our community members for standing behind Cobden FFA and the Ag department. Your support means the world to us!
