For over half a century, Monsanto has been a proud supporter of the national FFA organization. We believe in the FFA mission to "...make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education." At Monsanto, we are dedicated to supporting the nearly 500,000 FFA members, ages 12-21, in more than 7,000 chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
