It’s National FFA week with the theme ‘’Do It Up Big”. There are close to 670,000 FFA members across the country from over 8600 chapters. South Dakota FFA President Colton Riley says they’re using social media to get their message out.

He says participation in the South Dakota FFA is growing with the addition of some new chapters.

Riley says the FFA organization has changed over the years.

Thursday is Alumni Day during FFA week recognizing those former members and Friday is Wear Blue Day so current members can show pride in their organization.
