Students can also spin a wheel, and answer agriculture-related questions correctly to win prizes. On Friday, February 25, students will partner with Tractor Supply Company, hosting a bake sale, and offering Grants for Growing paper emblems for $1 (or more) at checkout.

Money raised during the “Grants for Growing Program” supports local FFA chapters that are making a difference in their communities with unique and sustainable agricultural projects.
