FFA chapters across the country have a new opportunity to grow their spring fundraisers—literally—thanks to an exciting new partnership between Seminis and Ball Seed. The Plant-Powered Fundraiser Program gives FFA chapters discounted access to professional-grade vegetable seeds, allowing students to raise funds while gaining valuable, hands-on growing experience. It’s a program designed to connect agriculture education, entrepreneurship, and community involvement all in one

Offered through both the National FFA Organization and the Kansas FFA Association, the Gift of Blue provides jackets to students enrolled in agricultural education classes who face financial challenges. Each student who applies shares their goals, dreams, and reasons for wanting to wear the jacket, while their agriculture teacher helps endorse their application by describing the student’s circumstances and potential.
