With school in full swing, thousands of young people are joining FFA in Minnesota. To support the development of these young people, future leaders for agriculture and their local communities, the Minnesota FFA foundation is again offering Blue Jackets Bright Futures program which provides official FFA jackets to members who have completed an application indicating their desire to be involved with FFA programs. The Blue Jackets Bright Future program is valuable program providing students with an FFA jacket to support their FFA involvement. FFA plays an important role in developing agricultural and leadership skills in students while preparing them for their future careers. The jacket is a symbol of tradition and pride for those who have worn the official FFA jacket. Many past members have sponsored jackets, but its not uncommon for individuals and companies to sponsor jackets because they appreciate what the organization does to develop young leaders.
