Chapter History
The Brokaw FFA Chapter is located in rural Clarinda, Iowa, and was chartered on October 25, 1929. The Brokaw FFA Chapter was established by Ms. Eva June Brokaw. Ms. Brokaw was the school principal when the chapter was chartered. The Brokaw FFA Chapter has had success over the past 93 years with its numerous awards at both state and national levels.
