About the Rushville FFA
The Rushville FFA Chapter was established in 1940. Since then, Rushville has been striving to make a difference in not only the lives of its members, but the Rush County community as well. The chapter participates in many CDEs at the District, State, and even National level.
We are proud to say we have over 100 members and have been recoginized as a 2012 Indiana FFA Silver Chapter at the 2012 Indiana FFA Convention.
