The FFA Chapter kicked off their Convention with Tours of Ag Businesses as they made their way to Indianapolis on October 21. The day started out with a fog delay so they were not able to stop at all of the local agricultural businesses that were on their agenda. They did tour the Wilson factory in Ada and the Hobart Institute of Welding Technology in Troy.
Their days were spent in sessions with the National FFA officers, keynote speakers, colleges, agricultural businesses and vendors in the convention hall and the Buckeye Bash. Shout out FFA Advisor. Mr. Mitch Gable, and chaperone, Mr. Matt McVey, for transporting the students and guiding them throughout the convention.
On the final day of the of the 2026 FFA National Convention, Alison Landwehr, daughter of Ken and Cindy Landwehr received her American Degree. The American FFA Degree is the highest degree awarded by the National FFA Organization and is earned by only a small percentage of FFA members. Recipients must demonstrate years of dedication to FFA, outstanding leadership, community involvement, academic achievement, and success through their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects.
Alison is just the 8th person in Kalida FFA history to receive this prestigious honor!
We are proud of you, Alison! Job well done!!
