President Trump has signed an executive order to begin the process of dismantling the Department of Education, leaving many to question the potential impact to ag education and programs, such as the National FFA.

CEO Scott Stump joined RFD-TV’s Tammi Arender to discuss what steps the organization is taking in response, how it will affect programs on the national and local levels, and his response to the Des Moines chapter’s fight to keep their Agriscience Academy running.
