Minnesota FFA is collaborating with 4-H to host Ag Academy: Passion to Career, a three-day, two-night experience at the University of Minnesota Crookston and Northland Community and Technical College, from June 16 through 18, 2025. FFA members will end the experience at Waukon Dairy near Gary, MN, for Animal Science labs, including Breeding, Nutrition, and Dairy Management. Students will also have a farm equipment experience at John Deere in Thief River Falls.
