Danny Clevenger, Michelle Chadwick, Justin Harlow and Mitch Riley, members of the Gallatin FFA Chapter, recently received the American FFA Degree. Earning the degree means the four recipients are among a select group of individuals to be recognized for years of academic and professional excellence. The honor was presented on Oct. 29 at the 78th National FFA Convention, held in Louisville, Ken.
The American FFA Degree recognizes demonstrated leadership ability and outstanding achievements in agricultural business, production, processing or service programs. To be eligible, members must have earned and productively invested $7,500 through a supervised agricultural experience (SAE) program in which they start, own, or hold a professional position in an existing agriculture enterprise. Recipients must also make it their mission to demonstrate outstanding leadership abilities and community involvement.
Each award recipient receives a gold American FFA Degree key, certificate and a wallet ID card. Of 476,732 FFA members nationwide, the Gallatin students were four of over 2,900 to be recognized in 2005. The degree recognition program is sponsored by BASF, Case IH, The Farm Credit System and Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc. as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.
