Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation® WISCONSIN RAPIDS — More than 180 high school juniors from across Wisconsin attended Wisconsin Farm Bureau’s FFA Farm Forum in Wisconsin Rapids, February 21-22.

“It is incredible to see so many young people gathered together with a passion for agriculture and a desire to learn,” said WFBF President Joe Bragger. “FFA Farm Forum is a great partnership between Wisconsin Farm Bureau and Wisconsin FFA. We know leadership development through FFA is second to none and we are excited to host this conference for our future agricultural leaders.”

During the two-day event at Hotel Mead in Wisconsin Rapids, FFA members attended workshops on postsecondary opportunities focusing on learning more about farming and Wisconsin’s agricultural community.
