In this week's Digging In, we're talking with Missouri State FFA Secretary Emily Hoyt about her involvement in the Future Farmers of America's program and her passion to educate young children about our food system.
When Emily was a sophomore in high school, her local FFA Chapter in Missouri encouraged Emily to take part in its Ag in the Classroom program.
