INDIANAPOLIS (Friday, Oct. 23, 2026/National FFA Organization) – Three chapters from across the country have been announced as winners of the 2026 #SpeakAg Showcase as part of the 99th National FFA Convention & Expo. This year’s winners were announced on the #SpeakAg Showcase stage and include:

• Lake Mills FFA (IA)
• Hanford FFA (CA)
• Prosper FFA (TX)

The #SpeakAg Showcase competition started at the National FFA Convention & Expo in 2022 as an opportunity for states to share their FFA story in a new format. Each participating chapter submits a 1-2 minute video about what makes agriculture unique in their region, state or local area. This is a student-led and produced project, and each video includes three agricultural facts about where the members live. They are judged on creativity, agriculture knowledge and state representation.

#SpeakAg was built on a simple idea: the people best equipped to tell agriculture’s story are the students living it every day,” said Celya Glowacki, manager of advocacy, literacy and ag-based experiences for the National FFA Organization. “These videos show our members helping people understand where their food comes from, and doing it with accuracy, creativity and a lot of pride in their communities.”

More than 35 chapters submitted entries this year. Each winning chapter receives a banner and a gift card for participating.

The 99th National FFA Convention & Expo concludes on Saturday, Oct. 24. For those unable to attend in person, FFA Live! will provide full streaming coverage. Visit convention.ffa.org for more information.

The National FFA Organization is a school-based national youth leadership development organization of more than 1,053,847 student members as part of 9,591 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
