Flyers and Brochures

As students prepare for the National FFA Agricultural Communications CDE, encourage them to contact local radio stations. Whether they're arranging a tour of the station or reading their stories on air, it's a great experience for student broadcasters. Most small town and agricultural radio stations are usually willing to work with FFA members.

Radio Broadcasts

Encourage students to make contacts and organize planned broadcast activities using the radio station. Spend a day at a broadcaster and meet up to read the daily news, weather or farm reports.

Mock Communications CDE

As students prepare for the Agricultural Communications CDE, it is good practice to write a number of news and press releases. However, most student stories do not have a high priority, so if the story is announcing an upcoming event, be sure to submit it well in advance. Newspapers will sometimes, but not always, include the student writer's name with their published story.

Local Newspapers

Students can gain confidence and hands-on writing experience while providing publicity for their FFA chapter.
