FFA, NMSU team up to train ag educators

Since 1973, the New Mexico FFA office has called the New Mexico State University campus home.

“It’s more than just a shared space—it’s a shared mission,” said Russell Walter, executive secretary for the New Mexico FFA Association. “Both FFA and the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences are dedicated to developing leadership, promoting innovation in agriculture and preparing students to make a real difference in their communities.”

In New Mexico, FFA reaches more than 5,300 students across 93 chapters. FFA hosts many events on the NMSU campus and in Las Cruces such as the state FFA convention, state officer trainings, career development events, and leadership conferences.
