members. It is the highest degree that can be bestowed upon an FFA member and only 5% of
the 16,000 FFA members in Iowa obtain the degree each year. The Iowa degree was presented
at the 93rd Iowa FFA Leadership Conference on April 20, 2021 at the Iowa Events Center in
Des Moines, Iowa.To obtain the Iowa FFA Degree, FFA members must meet the following
standards: 1) Have been an active FFA member for at least 2 years; 2) Have completed at least
two years of systematic instruction in agricultural education; 3) Have worked at least 375 hours
in a supervised agricultural experience program or productively invested and earned at least

a certain list of activities; 6) Have completed 25 hours of service for the community; and 7) Have

Production and received the prestigious degree! Congratulations to our wonderful Lamoni FFA
member!
