INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (RFD-TV) — We are officially in National FFA Convention Month, which means it is time for our Countdown to Convention, presented by Culver’s.

Today, we highlight a student from Iowa using AI to help assess stress in agriculture careers. Let’s find out how Jordan Jones, of the North Scott FFA Chapter, is using AI innovation in agriculture through FFA.
