A member of the Charles City FFA is in the running for a national award.
According to a Charles City FFA social media post, Brady Frascht has been named a finalist for the National FFA American Star Farmer Award. Frascht was selected one of just four finalists out of thousands of American Degree Candidates and will be interviewed and honored on stage at the National FFA Convention in October.
The FFA states, “The American Star Awards represent the best of the best among thousands of American FFA Degree recipients. The award recognizes FFA members who have developed outstanding agricultural skills and competencies by completing a supervised agricultural experience (SAE) program. A required activity in FFA, an SAE allows members to learn by doing. Members can own and operate an agricultural business, intern at an agricultural business, or conduct an agriculture-based scientific experiment and report the results.”
Other requirements to achieve the award include demonstrating top management skills; completing key agricultural education, scholastic and leadership requirements; and earning an American FFA Degree, the organization’s highest level of student accomplishment.
