Geneseo, IL - The Geneseo FFA Chapter is excited to kick off the school year with its First Annual Greenhand Social Brunch on Sunday, August 24th.

Throughout the week of February 15-22, the Geneseo FFA Chapter celebrated National FFA Week with a fun-filled week of events, dress-up days, and contests!

Last Friday, the Geneseo FFA traveled to Kewanee, IL to compete in the State FFA Horse Judging Career Development Event at Blackhawk College East Campus.
