We had a great trip to the 99th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis! We heard an address from the US Secretary of Agriculture, Brooke Rollins, and from keynote motivational speaker Scott McKain. Students visited over 450 agriculture businesses and colleges at the Trade Show and College Fair in addition to attending a student workshop. We also toured the South Side Landfill, the largest landfill in the US that captures and sells the methane gas produced in the decomposition process.
