The Farm Credit team has their bags packed, and is ready to return to the 2015 National FFA Convention and Expo this week in Louisville, Ky. Once again we’ll be rockin’ out with the next generation of farmers, ranchers and advocates for rural America at the Farm Credit booth (#1519).

This year Farm Credit is celebrating its centennial anniversary, and we invite all FFA attendees to join us for a little boot stompin’ and booth rockin’. Stop by the booth (#1519) to learn more about career opportunities with Farm Credit and our 100-year milestone, including the Fresh Perspectives program, honoring the changing face and future of rural America.

If you can’t make it to Louisville, be sure to follow the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags #FarmCreditRocks, #FarmCredit100 and #AmplifyFFA. To help us count down to the opening session of the 88th Annual FFA Convention, we’ve put together a list of 10 reasons why the 2015 FFA Convention rocks!
