FFA Information & Contests
LDE (Leadership Development Events)
These are contests that happen during the Fall Semester.
LDE's focus on creating situations for members to demonstrate their abilities in public speaking, decision making, communication, & their knowledge of Ag & the FFA Organization. Team & Individual events are used to reinforce what is taught in AG classes.
CDE (Career Development Events)
These are contests that happen during the Spring Semester.
CDE's build on what is learned in Ag classes & encourages members to put their knowledge into practice. They help a member prepare for a career in Ag by testing & challenging the student's technical, leadership, interpersonal & teamwork skills as well as their knowledge of the subject matter. CDE's answer the question "When will I use this knowledge in the real world?"
