The FFA and the Mill Road Thresherman Show
The Mill Road Threshermen Show has a special relationship with the local FFA Chapters. These kids come to the show with a good attitude, incredible work ethic, and they are just plain fun to be around. They help in all aspects of the show and we enjoy having them here. Heck, many of us were in the FFA when we were in school.
Apply to the
FFA Scholarship
To show our appreciation to the FFA students for all they do for us, we offer scholarships to our local FFA chapters. You have to be an FFA student, be enrolled in one of the high schools affiliated with our show (ask your ag teacher); and be entering an agriculture related field. Working at the show, so we can get to know you better, is a huge plus.
Ask your ag teacher or FFA sponsor for an application.
And if you are wondering if your career field is an agriculture related field, talk to your sponsor or ag teacher, they can help you with that.
