While last week’s National FFA Convention was held for FFA member’s across the United States, for Indiana State FFA President Casie Conley and her officer team having the convention in Indianapolis makes it feel like it’s “their convention”. Conley sits down with Brownfield to talk about what it means to have the convention in her own back yard and how attending the National FFA Convention as a state officer this year is just a little different then the four years she attended as a member of her high school FFA chapter.
