Owen County Farm Bureau supports FFA jacket programs

The Owen County Farm Bureau (OCFB) continued its commitment to agricultural education and youth development with recent donations to two local FFA chapters.

The organization contributed $400 to Owen Valley FFA and $250 to Cloverdale FFA to support their FFA jacket programs.

Indiana Farm Bureau has been advocating for Indiana agriculture and rural communities since 1919. At the local level, the Owen County Farm Bureau is proud to carry that mission forward and is excited to support area FFA programs.

"It is our mission to protect and enhance the future of agriculture and our communities," OCFB President Tom Erney said.

FFA is a dynamic youth organization that changes lives and prepares members for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. A key symbol of that experience is the iconic blue FFA jacket—recognized nationwide as a beacon of pride, achievement and community.

As part of the FFA Official Dress, the blue jacket plays an important role in helping students fully engage in the organization and its opportunities. Through the generosity of sponsors like OCFB, more students are able to receive jackets and participate fully in FFA activities.

These contributions help ensure that deserving FFA members at both Owen Valley and Cloverdale have access to this meaningful tradition and the experiences it represents.
