t’s National FFA week. In Illinois, thousands of members of the FFA took part in school activities that focused on ag education and the impact that agriculture has the Illinois economy. Republican State Rep. Darren Bailey took time on the state house floor to recognize the work of the FFA.

More members of the FFA will be at the State Capitol on Tuesday during Ag Legislative Day, hundreds of students in blue jackets fan out around the capitol handing out baskets full of Illinois agriculture products.
