(Missourinet) Missouri Governor Mike Parson is celebrating the nearly 26-thousand member of the Missouri FFA.

Governor Mike Parson arrived at the Capitol on a tractor Wednesday morning, not to plow the grounds, but to speak to Missouri’s FFA members.
As a farmer himself, the governor said he’s inspired by the future workers and leaders in agriculture.
