In this highlight from Roots & Branches of Lehi, the host reflects on the power of shared experiences and the lasting impact of agricultural education on youth, families, and communities. Through insights from a conversation with a seasoned agriculture teacher, we explore how programs like FFA (Future Farmers of America) help students develop confidence, leadership, and a strong work ethic.
