Local students earn American FFA Degrees

Two local students received American FFA Degrees at the National FFA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky.

Receiving the highest award presented by the FFA are Brandon Knodel from Lind and Amber Dainty of Washtucna.

Knodel and Dainty were two of 34 students from Washington who received the American FFA Degree.

An average of 3,500 American Degrees are presented each year, and that number represents less than half of one percent of all FFA members, making it one of the organization’s highest honors.

In addition to their degree, each recipient receives a gold American FFA Degree key.
