As tens of thousands of FFA members prepare to gather in Indianapolis later this month for the 98th Annual FFA Convention & Expo, educators across the country are helping students get ready for one of the biggest events in agricultural education.

One of them is Cade Fiske, an ag educator and FFA advisor at Mission Valley High School, who’s using social media to connect with students and promote the importance of agriculture. Fisk joined us on Thursday’s Market Day Report to share his journey from FFA member to advisor, reflecting on how his experiences in the organization shaped his passion for teaching. Now, as an educator, he is bringing that same enthusiasm to the next generation.

In his interview with RFD-TV News, Fiske shares about gaining attention online for his engaging TikTok content, where he highlights ag education in creative and entertaining ways. He says the platform allows him to reach more students and show that agriculture is both fun and essential.

Looking ahead to the National FFA Convention, Fiske says his students are eager to connect with peers from across the country and celebrate their shared love of agriculture. He’ll also be presenting on behalf of the National Association of Agricultural Educators, focusing on how technology and creativity can enhance classroom engagement and outreach.
