INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (RFD-TV) — As we continue our “Countdown to Convention,” we’re spotlighting leaders who’ve dedicated their lives to the National FFA Organization and agriculture. This week, we caught up with Molly Ball, President of the National FFA Foundation, to hear her personal ag journey and what she’s most excited about ahead of the 98th National FFA Convention & Expo.
In her conversation with RFD-TV News on Thursday’s Market Day Report, Ball reflected on her early experiences in FFA and how those opportunities shaped her path in agriculture. Looking ahead to the convention, she shared her excitement for welcoming thousands of students to Indianapolis, highlighting the energy, preparation, and opportunities the event will bring.
She also discussed her appearance on this week’s Dirt Diaries podcast, where she shares more of her story, the lessons she’s learned, and how FFA continues to open doors for students across the country. Ball spoke about what she hopes listeners will take away from her journey—from the importance of agricultural education to the power of perseverance and leadership.
We highlight an Iowa FFA student who is harnessing the power of AI technology to assess stress in agriculture-related careers.
