A huge Congratulations to Stormi Capek, Sam Hoops, Colton Isernhagen, and Mallory Kleen for being named 2025 American FFA Degree Recipients! The American FFA Degree is the highest degree an FFA member can achieve, and less than 1% of members ever earn it. To qualify, members must complete years of recordkeeping, invest significant time and earnings into their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE), demonstrate outstanding leadership and community involvement, and meet strict academic and FFA participation requirements. This accomplishment is especially exciting for Deshler FFA — in our chapter’s history, only one member has ever received the American Degree before. To have 4 members in the same year is very exciting! These remarkable leaders will officially receive their degrees on Saturday, November 1 at the National FFA Convention & Expo in Indianapolis, IN. We are incredibly proud of their dedication, perseverance, and commitment to agriculture and FFA. 💙💛
