The National FFA organization has raised more than $1.4 million during their 2025 Give FFA Day campaign! During a live, two hour telethon broadcast yesterday evening on RFD-TV, the owners of Rural Media Group, Gatsby Gottsch Solheim and Raquel Gottsch Koehler, presented the National FFA Foundation with a generous $100,000 donation as a big boost toward the stated goal of $1.5 million. With the total amount raised still inching upward this morning as gifts continued to be tallied, National FFA Foundation President Molly Ball gave a re-cap of the efforts on “Market Day Report,” reminding viewers that it is still not too late to give!
