To honor this accomplishment, we will recognize these individuals on stage during the Second Session of the 89th Ohio FFA Convention.

A seat will be reserved for the Star American FFA Degree candidates for the Second Session on Thursday, May 4, 2017. A seating chart will be enclosed in your registration packet and convention volunteers will be on hand to assist them in finding their reserved seat locations. In June, Ohio’s Star American FFA Degree candidates will have their applications forwarded on to the National FFA Organization for national competition.
