Wilkinson Sponsors FFA Resolution

50th District State Senator John Wilkinson sponsors a Senate Resolution recognizing the state’s Future Farmers of America.

Wilkinson was the sponsor of Senate Resolution 136, which applauded FFA on its activities and declared February 24, 2015 as FFA Day at the Capitol.

The Georgia FFA association is the third largest state FFA association in the country with 37,684 current members.

Senator Wilkinson called it an honor to recognize these young future farmers for everything they have done.

He added that it fills him with pride to see Georgia’s young people have such a strong appreciation for the wellbeing of agriculture in Georgia and said he can’t wait to see what else they will do for the future of farming.

The Toccoa Republican went on to say that agricultural education and the FFA guarantee its young professionals meet growing needs in the science, business and technology of agriculture and increase awareness of agricultural needs across the country.
