INDIANAPOLIS, IND. (RFD-TV) — As more than 70,000 FFA members, advisors, and guests make their way to Indianapolis for the National FFA Convention & Expo, RFD-TV continues its Countdown to Convention, presented by Culver’s.

Culver’s Senior Marketing Manager Alison Demmer joined us on Tuesday’s Market Day Report to discuss the company’s deep-rooted partnership with FFA and its ongoing commitment to agricultural education.

In her interview with RFD-TV News, Demmer explained why FFA and Culver’s are a natural fit, highlighting the brand’s shared values of hard work, leadership, and community. She outlined the ways Culver’s continues to support and engage with students during this year’s national convention, including interactive exhibits and hands-on experiences designed to inspire the next generation of ag leaders.

Demmer also shared that Culver’s has donated millions of dollars through its “Thank You Farmers Project,” helping fund agricultural education programs and FFA initiatives across the country. As a former FFA state officer, she reflected on the organization’s lasting impact and what it means to see today’s students carrying those traditions forward.

The National FFA Convention & Expo officially kicks off tomorrow in Indianapolis, celebrating the future of agriculture and the students who will lead it. Stream every session live and free with your annual subscription to RFD-TV Now.
