It’s the best thing that ever happened to me. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for FFA. The Atchison County FFA Chapter in Effingham, Kan., cultivated his passion for leadership throughout high school. He served as district and then state officer, and he became state president in college. Niemann now presides as chair on the National FFA Foundation Sponsors’ Board. “FFA guided me in a direction and gave me a vision for what I wanted to do and created a passion that I had in me that I [...]

FFA Blue 365: When Common Milkweed Isn’t So Common
https://www.ffa.org/blue365/ffa-blue-365-when-common-milkweed-isnt-so-common/
Even though we live on a planet that is home to at least 2 million species of insects, sometimes small choices can have a huge impact on improving the biodiversity of this world. The Monarch butterfly is one of those insects that could use some extra effort to ensure its role as the “poster child of butterflies.” Watch as Chuck Benson of BASF talks about the difference you can make through the simple milkweed. Benson leads the Market Intelligence for the US Ag Solutions Division of BASF Corporation. His primary responsibility focuses on understanding the key dynamics that are driving agriculture and evaluating opportunities to respond to or shape those trends.
