Corn Comments, featuring Lukas VanderMay from the Philip FFA Chapter

Welcome to Corn Comments! I'm Lukas VanderMay, a student from the Philip FFA Chapter. We are brought to you by the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council, a volunteer group of farmers who promote corn marketing in this state, the U.S., and around the globe.

The South Dakota FFA Convention will be held this week in Brookings. Two-thousand students from across the state will come together to compete in career development events, network with their peers, and receive their State FFA degrees.

FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agriculture education.

The South Dakota Corn Utilization Council believes in the future of agriculture and is proud to be a 4-Star Partner* of the South Dakota FFA Foundaton. Star Partners provide financial support to meet the needs of FFA students who are future agricultural leaders, creating a pipeline of employee development for the production, business, and science sectors of the South Dakota agriculture industry.

On behalf of the South Dakota Corn Utilization Council, we wish all FFA students a memorable state convention!
