Chapter
Lucerne
Valley
FFA
Resting in the beautiful High Desert Section
of the Southern Region, Lucerne Valley is a
small scenic town of just under 7,000 people
who are spread over 150 square miles. Our
high school population is small, hovering
around 215 students, but the Agriculture
program touches nearly half, at 105 students.
Lucerne Valley FFA was chartered in 1994
and since then we have had our one advisor
and teacher, a Canadian transplant, Mr.
Troy Van Bavel. Locally, we have many
small livestock farms and the main crops are
alfalfa and pistachios, with a
few other varieties of specialty
crops. There are three major
mines that hug the surrounding
mountains.
Lucerne Valley
FFA has thrived throughout
these years largely due to the
administration and community
support, and the dedicated
hard work of chapter members,
past and present. The continued dedication,
loyalty, and support by a variety of people,
businesses, and community groups in our little
town have played a major role in the success
and reputation of our chapter.
Our chapter is smaller in terms of numbers,

total population. Lucerne Valley agriculture
