INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (RFD-TV) — As we continue our “Countdown to Convention,” we’re highlighting the National FFA Organization‘s sponsor partners who help support the next generation of agricultural leaders.
One of those partners is Darling Ingredients, a global company that turns unused or organic waste materials into hundreds of sustainable products — from animal feed to renewable energy.
Jeremy Kelly, Quality Manager at Darling Ingredients, shares how the company’s mission aligns with FFA’s values and explains why investing in future agricultural leaders is so important. He also discussed how Darling Ingredients’ work demonstrates innovation in agriculture by reducing waste, creating value-added products, and supporting sustainability across the supply chain.
Our “Countdown to Convention” continues all month long here on RFD-TV as we highlight more stories like this one — leading up to the opening gavel of the 98th National FFA Convention & Expo on October 29 in Indianapolis.
USDA Undersecretary Luke Lindberg told RFD-TV News that we can only guess what Congress will do down the road. Still, the USDA recognizes its responsibility to spend resources efficiently and effectively.
