It’s National FFA Convention Week! The streets of downtown Indianapolis are flooded with thousands of students getting the experience of a lifetime as they navigate through The Convention Center. 

Co-Alliance is opening our doors to FFA chapters this week who want to learn more about our farmer-owned cooperative and the work we do on behalf of American Agriculture and Energy. On top of that, we’ve committed to getting kids to convention who may not have the chance otherwise. We’ve sponsored students to attend the National FFA Convention from North White FFA and Tri-High FFA. Our hope is that this trip opens doors for them and continues to fuel that fire to want to learn and do more in the agriculture industry. 

Co-Alliance's support of the FFA organization has grown tremendously in the last 3 years and much of that growth has to do with the persistence and passion of one of our agronomy employees, Doug Quear. Doug works at our Indian Trails location in Boone County. He was instrumental in getting the Hamilton Heights FFA Chapter off the ground and he still pours many, many hours to the organization.  

This month on the podcast, we invite you to learn more about Doug and why he believes so strongly in National Blue & Corn Gold.
