Over 70,000 students in blue corduroy jackets are at the 97th National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis this week. This year’s event starts on Wednesday, Oct. 23 and wraps up with the final session on Saturday, Oct. 26. Amara Jackson, who is serving out her final week as National FFA President, said the theme of this year’s convention and expo is “Engage.”
Jackson said one of the highlights of the event is the Expo at the Indiana Convention Center, which features more than 300 exhibitors. Those include some of the nation’s top ag colleges like Purdue University and Cornell as well as some of the country’s top ag businesses, including Corteva Agriscience and Case IH.
Meanwhile, inside Lucas Oil Stadium, which is across the street from the Expo, sessions are underway for the 97th National FFA Convention.
