Herbert College of Agriculture Students Shine

The University of Tennessee, Knoxville’s Collegiate 4-H, FFA, and Farm Bureau club had quite the showing at the annual FFA Alumni Convention with multiple awards won and impactful student experiences gained. The team successfully competed in various contests, earning several top spots, including first place in the Alumni T-Shirt Design Contest.

The FFA Alumni Convention is about more than competitions. Members received the opportunity to visit several important agricultural places, including McEwen FFA Facilities, United Farm & Home CO-OP, and Creekwood FFA Facilities. At these locations, they saw how students learn about agriculture, learned about farm supplies and support services, and witnessed FFA programs in action. Ultimately, these tours helped members gain a deeper understanding of the agricultural industry and its impact.

To help Canadians see beyond canola’s well-known role as a cooking oil and develop a nationwide sentiment from apathy to love for the crop. Our campaign launched with a 30-second ad featuring Canadian Canola turning heads in an airport.
