All the assistants here at the Mid-West Farm Report -- Stephanie Hoff, Charitee Seebecker, and Ben Jarboe -- sold fruit boxes as FFA members as part of their annual fundraiser. MyFruitSale.com operates one of the fundraising platforms for these famous FFA Fruit Sale Fundraisers, and they’ve been doing it since the 1980s. President Matt Johnson says this is a tradition that’s been going on even longer than that! He says in that time, families have gotten smaller and tastes have changed. The popular fruits today are apples, pears, and mandarin oranges. But the snack foods and Wisconsin cheeses go faster than the citrus. They'll be packing boxes to fill 50 semis to go to school fundraisers to go out after Thanksgiving. Matt says a great fundraiser would generate about $15,000 for an FFA chapter -- so a total of about $50,000 in total sales. In 2023, he went to the National FFA Convention and saw first-hand how important these dollars are for chapters to compete at and attend these life-changing events.
