The National FFA Convention is underway in Indianapolis and one Chapter from Illinois has already been recognized as one of the three best in the nation - for the Premier Chapter Award in the area of Strengthening Agriculture.

The Taylorville FFA will find out this week if they are the best out of the final three. Taylorville’s Jay Bliler says they have been focusing on their interview skills, record book interviews and public speaking.

The National FFA Convention in Indianapolis draws nearly 70,000 agricultural students from the United States, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
