JUDA - Three Juda FFA students received the American FFA Degree, the highest degree that an FFA member can earn, during a ceremony in Lucas Oil Stadium at the 89th National FFA Convention held in Indianapolis Oct. 22.
Juda FFA members receiving the degree were Tim Allen, son of Rodney and Lisa Allen, Jason Roth, son of Bill and Wendy Roth, and Ryan Schmitt, son of Steve and Julie Schmitt.
In March, these three members completed their applications, which then were forwarded to the Wisconsin FFA Association. They were approved and sent on to the national FFA organization, where they were approved this past summer. In order to receive the degree, members already must have received the Wisconsin FFA Degree, have earned at least $10,000 and productively invested at least $7,500 or productively invested $2,000 and worked 2,250 hours in a supervised agricultural experience program, have a record of outstanding leadership abilities and have participated in at least 50 hours of community service.
Ralph Johnson, Juda FFA advisor, received the Honorary American Degree. This award is given to teachers who have created high quality agriculture education programs that inspire and motivate their students to strive for success. Johnson has taught agriculture education/FFA for 34 years, with 25 of those at Juda.
