๐ŸŒฑ Because of My Ag Teacherโ€ฆ

Who helped you become the person you are today?

For many of us, an agriculture teacher is more than someone who teaches us about agriculture. They challenge us. They believe in us. They give us opportunities to lead, to fail, to grow, and to discover what we're capable of.

This National Teach Ag Day, September 17, we're celebrating the agriculture teachers who make a difference in the lives of New Mexico FFA members.

We want to hear from YOU. ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

Complete our โ€œBecause of My Ag Teacherโ€ฆโ€ form and tell us about a lesson, piece of advice, or moment that your agriculture teacher has given you that you'll carry with you beyond the classroom.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Share your story:

Your story might be exactly what another agriculture teacher, or another student, needs to hear.

What an incredible accomplishment! The American FFA Degree is the highest degree bestowed upon an FFA member, recognizing those who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to their SAE, FFA, and future in agriculture.

Did you know that only about one-half of one percent of FFA members earn the American FFA Degree? That makes this achievement truly extraordinary.

To our New Mexico FFA members receiving this prestigious degree, we are incredibly proud of you! Your hard work, perseverance, and commitment have placed you among an elite group of FFA members across the nation.

Congratulations on reaching this incredible milestone! You have truly earned it!
