FFA Advisor Celebrates 50 Years in the Classroom
(FFA New Horizons) For CFANS agricultural education alumnus Ed Terry, teaching young people about agriculture isn’t just a profession. It’s also a passion he’s cultivated for half a century. Terry, who was instrumental in launching the Randolph FFA more than 40 years ago, celebrates 50 years of sharing ag education in 2020. Along with serving as a part-time agriculture instructor and FFA advisor at Randolph High School in Randolph, Minn., Terry continues to work on his family’s 150-year-old dairy farm – a role he always planned to take on but never imagined he’d couple with teaching.
