FFA blue jackets awarded to local youth

INDIANAPOLIS — Key Cooperative together with Syngenta, one of the world’s leading companies, participated in a program through the National FFA Foundation for an opportunity to have an FFA jacket awarded to Dylon Morrison, a member of the Newton Senior High School FFA.

Syngenta issued a challenge and made an offer to its retail partners: Contribute $2,500 to the National FFA Foundation and Syngenta will match it. In recognition of each retailer’s contribution, a local FFA chapter that has been designated will receive an official FFA blue jacket and a $500 check for the chapter.

“Syngenta is proud to partner with many of our retailers in supporting the Blue Jacket program,”  said Scott Desotel, Iowa District Manager. “This is an outstanding opportunity to help ensure  the future of agriculture across the U.S. while positively impacting local chapters and relationships with our leaders of tomorrow.”
