INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — A Nebraska business owner and former FFA member has established a major endowment to support the development of current and future FFA members.
Through use of a revocable trust, the Ron Grapes Family Broadening Agriculture Experience Fund will provide grants that FFA members can use to successfully complete their required supervised agricultural experience.
All FFA members are required to complete a supervised agricultural experience, a project they conceptualize with the help of their teachers that involves them either owning and operating an agricultural-based business, getting an agriculture-based job or internship or plan and conduct an agriculture. . .
