FFA STUDENTS SPEAK
I am in survey of ag for my eighthgrade year. The reason I joined this class at the beginning was because it counted as high school credit and I really needed that. It turned out that ag is a lot more fun than it sounded. We get a lot of opportunities to go to field trips and events. If you like that, than you should really consider ag as one of your electives! We also got to build bird houses and we were taught how to use a saw which is a great life skill that I will use for the rest of my life.

I am in Survey Of Ag with Mr. Mason and he sure is a hoot! I am in Ag because I needed some high school credit. I was thinking about having it in my future but I like basketball and was thinking about trying to be an Allstar, but I don’t know.

I am in eighth grade survey of ag. It is a fun class we get to do a lot of different things. We go on a lot of fun field trips. We learn about everything from farm animals to shop work. It is a really fun class.

I joined FFA because I have always had an interest in animals. I am using FFA to extend my knowledge of animals. This is in preparation for the future. For maybe a future job, not necessarily in the FFA, but in the field of animals and biology.
My grandpa and grandma on my mom’s side own a farm, and that may have also influenced me to join FFA.
Right now in FFA, we are doing a bluebird highway project, and previously, we were working on the FFA creed. So far, things have been fun, and I’m glad this is one of my classes.

I’m in eighth-grade survey of ag. I joined ag because i like FFA and stuff. Ag is a really fun class we do a lot of different things right now we are building bird houses. We also go on awesome field trips. we went to Bass Pro for the whole day. We learn a lot about farm animals. Like cattle and pigs and stuff like that. Survey of ag is my favorite class in school.

I go to Pea Ridge Middle School and I am in eighth grade. The reason I joined is because it is a extra course for high school. It will help me in the future with being a responsible in general, keep up with my work, etc.

I am in Mr. Mason’s only eighthgrade Survey of Agriculture class. I joined Survey of Agriculture because I would like to learn more about animals, and why people join FFA. Also I joined because I just like to build stuff like bird houses (which we are building Blue Bird right now.) At the beginning of the year I didn’t know jack squat about Survey of Agriculture. I didn’t even know what is was. Now since we are almost at the end of the year I have learned many things, (such as memorized the creed, Parliamentary Procedure, about goat and sheep, and how to build a birdhouse.) My mom, Micah Grantham of Pea Ridge, Ark., when she was in school she was also in FFA. Also my Papaw, Franklin Vaughn of Wayton, Ark., he was in FFA. To me FFA is a good class for young adults, (such as myself) to learn.

I am in an eighth-grade ag class. I really like this class and It is my favorite class of the day. Right now we are building bird houses and it is awesome! I have done this kind of stuff before but being able to be with my other friends is awesome. There are very few things that I do not like in this class. Pretty much the only thing that I don’t like is the AET (Agricultural experience tracker) assignments. This is a computer based program that we type summaries of AG related activities.
This program can be kinda boring but it is part of the class so I might as well just do it. Besides that this class is fun and exciting.

I am a student at Pea Ridge middle school. I am in the eighth grade, I am in the class survey of agriculture. Here at Pea Ridge, the agriculture class is exceptional. We learn many things that will help us later on in life. We learn how to cut wood and learn how to construct things. We learn how to properly use tools and equipment and be safe while using them. We learn about farms and agricultural experiences and how it can benefit us in our lives and provide jobs later on.
