The Grassland FFA will receive the prestigious Three Star Gold rating as the highest recognition a chapter can earn for the planning and implementation of chapter activities within the Program of Activities. A local chapter POA sets goals, implementation strategies and evaluative criteria in 15 different standing committees. Of the 148 FFA Chapters across the state only 14 were recognized at the national level and only 6 earned the 3 Star Gold Award, after competing with FFA Chapters from around the nation.

Under the direction of President Paul McFarland and Vice Presidents Michael Seifrit, Jon Martin and Seth Yoder the Grassland FFA completed the comprehensive National Chapter Rating Application. The award recognizes overall excellence in a local chapter’s operation. The Grassland FFA organizes itself into the three divisions with one of the Vice-Presidents overseeing five committees within each division: chapter, community and student.  The chapter will receive their recognition at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis in October.
