Retirement marks end of an era for FFA convoy

Arnold Cordes, longtime state FFA executive secretary and voice of Wisconsin farm youth, retires after 16 years in Madison. From a Barron County dairy farm to Eau Claire and Luck teaching posts, Cordes helped grow FFA membership from 15,193 in 1967 to 21,508 and led programs like Building Our American Communities, alumni gatherings, and leadership conferences. He urges ongoing farm education, startup financing, and a total farm team approach, and plans to help establish a state FFA Foundation after retirement.
