Countdown to Convention: FFA Alum Turns Leadership Lessons into White Water Adventure

As we continue our Countdown to Convention sponsored by Culver’s, we see how FFA helps students and alums like Kat Walker build skills for life through ag education.

We are less than a week away from the next National FFA Convention & Expo, and continuing our Countdown to Convention presented by Culver’s.

Today, we highlight FFA alum Kat Walker, who is using the life skills she learned through her FFA experience in her role as a whitewater rafting guide. She is another shining example of how FFA members are shaping the future of agriculture.

Be sure to tune in to gavel-to-gavel coverage of the 98th National FFA Convention & Expo, live and free on the RFD-TV Now app. It all begins on October 29 and runs through November 1!
