Ag Briefs: State FFA chapters receive $20,000 for COVID-19 challenges FFA chapters across state receive $20,000 in grants The Wisconsin FFA Foundation and Wisconsin FFA Alumni & Supporters Association have partnered to provide $20,000 in grants to local chapters facing challenges posed by COVID-19. Forty chapters each received $500, from Amherst to Medford and Pittsville to Wisconsin Dells. Director of WFFAF John Hromyak said, "These important activities help support everything on the local level – dues payments, classroom supplies, competition resources, and agricultural projects – and will be critical for continued FFA participation and sustained membership this school year and into the next." The program, called Wisconsin FFA Chapter Assistance Grant Program, is supported by the Star Mission from WFFAF and is also sponsored by Alliant Energy Foundation, Armor Animal Health, Compeer Financial, Culver’s, Investors Community Bank, Organic Valley/CROPP Cooperative, and Rural Mutual Insurance Company.
