Picture a farmer. What are they wearing? That’s right……flannel and denim!  Today, the FFA is wearing flannel because it is an agriculture product.  The theme for today is “I can, we will.”  The farmers say “I can” produce cotton to make the flannel.  Others say, “we will” convert the cotton into flannel and other things we enjoy.
