FFA State Officers Visit Ag 1 Source

Ag 1 Source recently had a visit from the Kansas FFA Association State Officers and Beth Gaines, Executive Director of the Kansas FFA Foundation, at our office in Hesston, KS. “Ag1 source is a proud sponsor of the Kansas FFA program,” Mike Smith, President and CEO of Ag 1 Source said.

Smith gave the student officers a brief tour and shared information about employment in agriculture. The group then went to lunch with Ryan Gale, Agronomy and Seed Recruiting and Doug Trumble, Grain and Finance Recruiting, and discussed the variety of jobs a background in agriculture has to offer these future leaders in ag. “I’m excited about the opportunities future agricultural leaders, such as these FFA officers, could have. It was a pleasure talking to them about possible careers in ag,” Smith said.
