“American Pickers” Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz (with beard) were scouring the countryside for treasures for their History Channel TV show when they encountered Delta and Hotchkiss FFA members near St. Louis. The students wound up being filmed for a promotional piece.
Delta High School will celebrate National FFA Week Feb. 18-25. "I Believe" is this year's theme, celebrating more than 80 years of FFA traditions while eagerly anticipating the organization's future.

The Delta FFA Chapter, is an organization that combines agriculture-related skills, community service, and leadership skills all into one.

This group teaches young adults to be successful citizens and leaders. Members are involved in many school activities and participate in numerous trips and competitions throughout the state.

Fall activities typically include a homecoming float, the ag fair, haunted shop, fruit sales and the National Western Stock Show. In the spring semester, FFA members plan the FFA Oyster Fry, an ag expo and the FFA Feast.
