This year’s convention theme is “Show-Me More”.
Due to COVID-19-related health concerns, attendance at the 93rd Missouri FFA Convention will be by invitation only. Sessions will be live-streamed at livestream.com/modese/moffa. Convention results will be online at convention.missouriffa.org.
Missouri FFA President Justin Eddy, Columbia FFA Chapter member, along with the other 15 state officers will conduct convention sessions. Earlier in April, the 686 delegates- two from each chapter- held the business session via survey. The results will be announced during the convention’s first session at 9:30 a.m. on Friday.
Also during the first session, Missouri State Fair Director Mark Wolfe will welcome members and guests, and Missouri Department of Agriculture Director Chris Chinn will share remarks. Chapter Activity Awards and leadership-development event results will be presented. LDEs and career-development events were held prior to convention.

National FFA Week kicked off on February 20th and goes until the 27th. This week is a time for FFA chapters across the country to celebrate the achievements of the organization and spread the word about what they stand for. The majority of chapters usually have different activities they do throughout the week. For example, some chapters will do Ag Olympics, pancake breakfasts, or scavenger hunts, but this year looks a little different.
âI think a lot of it depends on what your community can do right now depending on the restrictions that they have,â FFA Central Region Vice President Paxton Dahmer said. âOne of the things (FFA members) can do is engage virtually. Thatâs been something thatâs really come to light this past year, and I think itâs a beneficial way to hold an event during FFA week. You can have a virtual Zoom hour over lunch and invite people across the community to listen in and talk about you

National FFA Week begins Saturday and runs through Feb. 27. As I sat with National FFA officers earlier this year, they reminisced about FFA Week with their local chapters and the fun events they would have like Ag Olympics, a business luncheon with community members, pancake breakfasts, scavenger hunts and more. But this year might look a bit different because of COVID-19.
“So, I think a lot of it depends on what your community can do right now depending on the restrictions that they have,” says FFA Central Region Vice President Paxton Dahmer from Missouri. “One of the things (FFA members) can do is engage virtually. That’s been something that’s really come to light this past year, and I think it’s a beneficial way to hold an event during FFA week. You can have a virtual Zoom hour over lunch and invite people across the community to listen in and talk about your chapter. You can even do a different award ceremony during National FFA week in a virtual setting as well.”
