Helping tomorrow’s leaders today
Our purpose is to strengthen agricultural education and the Kansas FFA program, so each student can develop their potential for personal growth, career success and leadership. We do that by seeking out individuals, companies and organizations that believe in making a difference by providing financial support to programs encouraging leadership development and career exploration.
