Happy Father’s Day to the dads and father figures who show up, cheer us on, and help us grow every step of the way.

Thank you for your support, guidance, and the values you pass down to Tennessee FFA members!

From workshops and sports to dress-up days, talent shows, and the dance, Week 3 was one to remember!

The Ag Tag specialty license plate is turning 30, and the Tennessee Department of Agriculture needs your help choosing its next design.

For three decades, the Ag Tag has celebrated Tennessee agriculture and forestry while supporting agricultural education, youth leadership, market development, forestry awareness and programs that strengthen rural communities across the state.

As we look toward the next 30 years, this milestone is an opportunity to celebrate the Ag Tag’s impact, bring renewed attention to its purpose and invite the public to help choose its next design.

From June 9 through June 23 at 4 p.m. CT, vote for your favorite design: the original Ag Tag, a modernized version of the current Ag Tag or a new design. The two new options feature the Pick Tennessee Products logo, which is celebrating 40 years of connecting consumers with Tennessee farms and food businesses, as well as the 4-H and FFA emblems, recognizing the Ag Tag’s longstanding support of agricultural education and youth leadership.

Last week, we celebrated Tennessee Forestry Camp's 75th anniversary. For decades, this camp has equipped FFA members with skills and leadership experience through hands-on instruction on the knowledge and responsibilities of the forestry profession.

Commissioner Andy Holt and State Forester Heather Slayton gave remarks on how TDA and the Division of Forestry (TDF) are proud supporters of Tennessee Forestry Camp and emphasized the importance this experience plays in students educational and professional careers. We also heard from current and past FFA counselors, as well as TDF staff members, who have played an integral role in making this week happen. Forestry Camp would not be successful without their service!

A highlight of the week is the conclave contests, a series of events where FFA members showcase their forestry skills such as hand and two-man sawing.

Week 2 is in the books!

239 members. 17 chapters. Countless memories.

From new friendships to leadership growth, Week 2 was filled with memories that will last a lifetime! We can’t wait to welcome our Week 3 campers and continue the journey!

🧭 Uncharted: Chart the Course, Lead the Way

Week 1 of FFA Leadership Training Camp at Camp Clements was a success! Campers built new friendships, created unforgettable memories, and strengthened their leadership skills. From stepping outside their comfort zones to working as a team, each camper had the opportunity to grow as a leader while having fun along the way.

We can’t wait to welcome our members for Week 2 and continue making memories together! 💙💛
