AgReliant Genetics has contributed $70,000 to support of the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis.
The gift will help support the activities that will take place over the next seven years while the convention is being held in Indianapolis.
“We are excited to support the National FFA Convention for the next seven years, especially since AgReliant is also based in Indianapolis,” said Raphael Journel, president and CEO of AgReliant Genetics.
“The FFA organization has been and will be instrumental in preparing the next generation to take leadership roles in determining the worldwide future of agriculture.”
Many current AgReliant employees are past FFA members, including numerous past state and local officers, added Craig Newman, vice president of sales and marketing.
“As we recruit new employees, we look to see if the applicant has been active in FFA as that is an indicator of future success,” he noted.
AgReliant, which is based outside Indianapolis in Westfield, Ind., markets seed under the following brands: AgriGold Hybrids, Great Lakes Hybrids, LG Seeds, Producers Hybrids and Wensman Seeds.
