The “Education Enrichment Program” was developed after an FFA instructor in central Iowa asked FC for a donation to replace textbooks that were over 20 years old. This program has been developed by FC to assist the FFA Chapters in its trade territory with funding for agriculture educational items for the classroom. FC has committed $15,000 for this program to be used toward items such as computers, textbooks, and equipment. Each chapter receives funds based on a student count provided by the Iowa FFA.
According to FC CEO, Jim Chism, “We at FC are honored to assist in the development of learning opportunities for America’s next generation famers and agribusiness people. Feeding the world over the next several decades will be a challenging, yet rewarding task. Our area FFA Chapters are helping to prepare our youth to take advantage of opportunities that agriculture will present.”
