“We are excited to once again have NEOGEN helping to support the development of young people in agriculture,” said Molly Ball, President of the National FFA Foundation and Chief Marketing Officer of the National FFA Organization. “Their contribution to our SAE Grants will help to ensure the growth of our next generation of leaders.”
