AgTexas gives Aledo FFA $2,000 for National FFA Convention trip

Aledo FFA received $2,000 this month from AgTexas Farm Credit Services to help cover travel for members going to the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, which runs Oct. 21–24, according to a release from the lender.

According to AgTexas' release, Aledo FFA members will be recognized at the convention in the Forest Management and Products – Entrepreneurship/Placement proficiency award category. The release says the award recognizes FFA members who have built practical skills managing forest resources and producing forest products. That can include conservation, tree planting and harvesting, improving forest health, and producing or marketing firewood, timber and wood chips.

The money came from AgTexas' Burleson branch, which also gave $2,000 to Brock FFA, for $4,000 total between the two chapters, according to the combined release. Brock FFA is sending 11 students to compete in the National FFA Agriscience Fair, the release says.

"We are honored to support these students who are the future of agriculture," AgTexas CEO Kayla Robinson said in the release. The release notes Robinson was in FFA as a teenager.

AgTexas' Burleson office is at 117 S. Burleson Blvd. and can be reached at 817-293-6103.
