Moran and the students discussed Moran's work in D.C. and the issues affecting Kansas agriculture and rural communities. The officers shared the impacts that FFA and agricultural education have had on them and how they can exercise leadership in their communities. 

The National FFA Association helps shape the next generation of leaders through the development of critical skills, and Moran said he will continue working to help our Kansas communities thrive for this and the next generation.
