Happy National FFA Week! As a former North Dakota State FFA officer and the wife of an ag teacher and FFA advisor, this is a big week in our household! Each year, FFA chapters across the country celebrate National FFA Week, sharing about what FFA is and the impact it has on members every day.

This year, FFA Week is even more exciting as we launch episode 6 of the Trailblazing in Agriculture podcast featuring Becky Fouard, who works in global learning and development for Elanco and is a former state and national FFA officer. Becky shares about the incredible work she does with Elanco and talks about the impact the FFA organization has had on her life, personally and professionally.

The trajectory of Becky’s life changed when she said “yes” and joined her high school’s FFA chapter. Her story is an excellent reminder that saying yes to opportunities can completely transform the trajectory of your life!

I can’t wait for you to listen to this episode and hear Becky’s story. I hope you are inspired by Becky’s passion for agriculture, FFA and youth development, and are reminded of the power of saying yes!
