NEW YORK CITY (RFD-TV) — As we continue our Countdown to Convention, presented by Culver’s, FFA members in New York City are proving that agriculture can thrive anywhere — even in the heart of the concrete jungle. From rooftop gardens to aquaponic systems, these students are transforming urban spaces into working farms while gaining hands-on skills that connect city life with the roots of agriculture.
FFA members from across the country are preparing to take center stage! You can watch the 98th Annual National FFA Convention & Expo live and free on the RFD-TV Now app, October 29 through November 1!
