On Wednesday, Secretary Sonny Perdue arrived in Indianapolis, Ind., for the 90th National FFA Convention. He had several stops throughout his day: presenting a workshop, interacting with FFA members and providing remarks at the opening session.
FFA members today have the opportunity to share the story of agriculture like no other generation has had before, Perdue noted. His advice to FFA members on how to share their stories: Be confident, knowledgeable, truthful, and most importantly, kind. Making a positive connection with the consumer can only improve their attitude toward agriculture and the industry that provides their fiber, fuel, and food.
