INDIANNAPOLIS - The National FFA Organization selected Rod Cool of Chelan, to receive the Honorary American FFA Degree.
The award was given to those who advance agriculture education and FFA through outstanding personal commitment.

Members of the National FFA Organization’s board of directors approved the nomination.
