Veronica Fonder of Milbank and Mya Heinje and Rhyanna Rudebusch of Wilmot will be among the 324 South Dakota FFA members who will receive their State degree at the 97th South Dakota State FFA Convention in Brookings on Friday, April 4.
The State degree is the highest honor the South Dakota FFA Association can bestow upon its members. In order to achieve the award, members must have received their Chapter FFA degree; been an FFA member and agricultural education student for at least two years; earned at least $2,000, or worked 600 hours in their Supervised Agricultural Experience program; given a six-minute speech about agriculture or FFA; participated in eight different leadership activities; received a “C” average or better in high school; and shown a record of outstanding leadership and community involvement.
As a special project of the South Dakota FFA Foundation, recipients of the South Dakota State degree are presented with a framed certificate and a golden charm as a symbol of their growth and development.
