WISCONSIN RAPIDS - Members of the Monroe FFA were among the nearly 175 students who attended the Wisconsin Farm Bureau's FFA Farm Forum in Wisconsin Rapids Feb. 18 and 19.

During the two-day event at Hotel Mead in Wisconsin Rapids, FFA members attended workshops that covered topics including addressing misconceptions about agriculture, advocating for agriculture on social media and preparation for college and agricultural careers. Ben Brancel, Wisconsin's Secretary of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection, and Christine Lindner, Wisconsin's Alice in Dairyland and former FFA member, both addressed the forum as well.

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Foundation sponsors the FFA Farm Forum in cooperation with the Wisconsin Association of FFA. This year's FFA Farm Forum marks the 39th year the Farm Bureau family of affiliates has sponsored the event for Wisconsin youth.
