NRCS staff from NHQ and Indiana recently exhibited at the national FFA
Convention and Career Show in Indianapolis, Indiana. An
estimated 55,000 FFA students, parents, advisors and others attended the Career Show and other events at the
Indiana Convention Center where
NRCS staff answered questions about the agency and careers with NRCS as well as
distributing hundreds of informational posters and brochures. The National FFA Convention is the third largest in the U.S. with the Republican and
Democratic National conventions holding first and second place.
USDA Deputy Under Secretary for Natural Resources and Environment Gary Mast and Indiana
State Conservationist Jane Hardisty participated in the event that featured
more than 250 exhibitors including several other USDA agencies.
The National FFA Organization is dedicated to making a positive difference in
the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership,
personal growth and career success through agricultural education. Founded in
1928, FFA boasts a membership of nearly 500,000 throughout 7,242 chapters nationwide.
