It’s FFA Week all across the nation, and the Future Farmers of Baxter are fully embracing it. They have a full week of activities planned, and Courtney Tingwald, Baxter’s FFA advisor and agriculture teacher, is excited to partake in the event for the first time as a teacher.

“I grew up on a family farm,” Tingwald said. “It’s my parent’s farm, and I was involved in 4-H and FFA when I was in high school. We’ve planned some new activities they haven’t done before, so I think they’re excited about that.”

They kicked off FFA week Monday with Drive Your Tractor to School and a Carhart Day. They also held a coloring contest for elementary school students.
