Are you passionate about agricultural education and advocacy?
Oregon Agriculture in the Classroom has many opportunities for Oregon FFA members and chapter!

You can make a difference in your home and community by educating those in your community about Oregon agriculture!

Agricultural Advocacy Award

The purpose of this award is to encourage community agriculture awareness projects in Oregon’s FFA and high school agriculture programs. Cash prizes of $125, $100, $75, and $50 will be awarded to the top four award recipients to continue the development and expansion of their agriculture awareness projects. The top four teams will be awarded banners and recognized on stage during a general session at the Oregon FFA State Convention.

Based on applications, the top teams will be invited to present a fifteen-minute prepared presentation about the group’s agricultural awareness efforts to a committee during State Convention. More details will be sent to the advisor if the team is selected for presentations.
