The National Association of Agricultural Educators has named a new President-Elect to serve its more than 9,000 members and he happens to be from Tennessee!

Bill Newsom joined RFD-TV’s own Tammi Arender straight from the classroom to discuss the organization, what it means for him to be in this new role, an impressive record he holds, and, of course, advice for future and young agricultural teachers.
