FFA Alum Gatlin Didier shares how he is helping support the future of ag through social media

The National FFA Convention and Expo is less than two weeks away.

As we continue our countdown to convention, presented by Culvers, we wanted to check in with an Oklahoma producer, FFA Alum, and ag influencer who uses social media to advocate for agriculture.

Our good friend, Gatlin Didier spoke with RFD-TV’s Jennifer Vicker Smith about his rural roots, his time in FFA, and his message to the members of the blue and gold.
