Bill > SR19

This resolution recognizes the week of February 15 through 22, 2025, as "National FFA Week" in Pennsylvania, highlighting the significance of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) organization. The resolution emphasizes how FFA has evolved from its agricultural roots to become a broad leadership development program that welcomes students from diverse backgrounds, with over 1 million members nationwide. The organization focuses on agriculture, agribusiness, and related fields, with members now representing various disciplines beyond traditional farming, including food science and horticulture. In Pennsylvania specifically, nearly 16,000 agricultural education students participate, led by seven state officers who dedicate a year to advocating for agricultural education. The resolution acknowledges the organization's motto of "Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve" and celebrates the FFA's commitment to developing young leaders. By passing this resolution, the Pennsylvania Senate officially recognizes the FFA's contributions and congratulates its members, advisers, and parents for their involvement in this exemplary youth organization.
