Farmland supports local farming by partnering with the National FFA Organization

Processing

Farmland, producer of bacon, sausage, and ham, is partnering with the National FFA Organization, formerly known as Future Farmers of America, to support local farming and high school students. Farmland will thus donate $0.10 to FFA on every purchased item, up to 75,000 dollars, according to a press release.

The donations will help FFA continue its mission of making a positive difference in the lives of students and shine a light on the agricultural industry.

"Since 1959, Farmland has been partnering with local American farmers to provide our loyal consumers with food they can trust and feel good about serving to their families. We are honored to partner with FFA to continue inspiring America's future farmers to produce quality foods and raise awareness of the importance of agricultural education," said Megan Thomas, senior brand manager for the Farmland brand at Smithfield Foods.

In addition to the donation, Farmland will provide grants to four Midwestern FFA chapters later this year, providing financial support to high school students working on animal care projects. On Oct. 25- 28, Farmland will be a sponsor of the 90th National FFA Convention & Expo in Indianapolis. The convention, which is one of the largest annual student conventions in the world, will host nearly 64,000 FFA members, vendors, and guests from across the country.
