To commemorate 75 years of partnership with the National FFA Organization, John Deere announced it has made a $75,000 contribution to the FFA Living to Serve Platform. The money is in addition to the wide range of support for FFA activities already sponsored by Deere. The contribution provides support for FFA chapters to build stronger communities through various service projects that address environmental responsibility, hunger, health and nutrition, community safety and community engagement. Deere is the longest-running corporate sponsor of FFA. Since it first made a $1,000 contribution in 1943, the company has donated more than $13 million to the National FFA Organization.
