You could say excitement is growing around South Dakota s FFA programs this spring. Like with prep basketball and the spring sports season, the state s high school FFA programs were halted when COVID-19 forced school closures last year and caused the cancellation of the 2020 FFA state convention.

For the first time in nearly 100 years the South Dakota State FFA Association annual convention will not be held in Brookings.
The April 11-13, 2021, event will be held in Rapid City at the Central States Fairgrounds, Kjerstad Events Center and Western Dakota Technical College.
FFA executive secretary Dani Herring says COVID-19 caused the 2020 convention to take place virtually and is also behind the move to Rapid City. She says with restrictions on social gatherings and outside visitors still in place on the South Dakota State University campus, the Association Board of Directors voted to move the convention last month (Jan. 22). Additionally, if case numbers spiked, Herring says there was a possibility the event would have to be canceled last-minute.
