    As well as preparing for the State FFA Convention students are applying for officer positions for next year, Chapter Degrees, Greenhand Degrees, and revisiting their Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE).  Members of the FFA are required to be enrolled in an agriculture class each year, complete an SAE, and they compete in the FFA events.  All three of these areas prepare our students for their future careers.  The Garden County FFA chapter is looking into some community service project and continuing the greenhouse to cafeteria program throughout the summer.
