National FFA Convention returns to Indy

It’s a sea of blue at the 89th annual National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis as the doors opened today to FFA students from across the country. Nearly 64,000 are expected to attend this week’s festivities. The opening day was packed with shopping, workshops, and lots of booth traffic. Even “The Bachelor” Chris Soules was on hand to visit with students and sit down for an interview with us at the AGDAILY/CarbonTV booth. Here’s a glimpse of the action trending on social media from #TransformFFA.
