FFA members in Indy! Our chapter drove down yesterday and visited Tuttle Orchards on the way. The tour guide taught the kids about value-added products that kept the orchard financially afloat when a late frost destroyed their crop two years in a row. Today we went to the first general session where they heard from Keynote speaker Kevin Wanzer and attended a workshop on "The most powerful word in the world."
