Countdown to Convention: Innovating in Agriculture with AI and FFA

We highlight an Iowa FFA student who is harnessing the power of AI technology to assess stress in agriculture-related careers.

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.

We are now just eight days away from the National FFA Convention & Expo kicking off. RFD-TV will bring you stories during the four-day event, and you can watch gavel-to-gavel coverage this year live and free on the RFD-TV Now streaming app, October 29 through November 1st!
