James Horn, the agriculture education instructor and Future Farmers of America (FFA) advisor at Newton High School, has been making a significant impact on students for the past 16 years. His dedication to helping students grow and develop their leadership skills has not gone unnoticed.

Horn, who himself was a farm kid and FFA member, understands the value of agriculture education and the opportunities it provides for students. He has created a dynamic learning environment where students can explore their interests and talents in various agricultural career pathways.

Under Horn’s guidance, Newton FFA has achieved remarkable success. Recently, the state champion Agronomy and Ag Mechanics teams represented Iowa at the National FFA Convention, with both teams earning high placements. Additionally, nine members received the prestigious Iowa FFA Degree, the highest honor at the state level.

Despite the challenges of decreasing enrollment, Newton FFA continues to thrive, with about 90 high school students currently involved in the program. Horn attributes this growth to the enthusiasm and dedication of the students themselves, who serve as the best recruiters for the program.

Horn’s passion for agriculture education is evident in the success of his students and the positive impact he has had on their lives. As he continues to inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders, his commitment to fostering a love for agriculture and leadership in his students remains unwavering.
