The Falls City FFA is traveling across Missouri to the 98th National FFA convention! We stopped at Northwest and toured the college. We also went to Chillicothe to tour Trans Ova genetics where they produce and sell embryos and in-vitro fertilization and help improve genetics in beef, dairy, sheep, and goat industries! It was a great tour where we learned a lot about the business and potential careers in the business!
Looking forward to the many other things we will learn to, at, and from the National FFA convention 2025!
