Incredible time with thousands of students at the North Carolina FFA State Convention this week. Big thanks to BASF Ag Solutions US for encouraging and supporting members of their team to invest in students all across the country. #belongatBASF

My year is filled with so many highlights...but it is tough to beat the days when you are surrounded by so many young people passionate about ag. As always, huge shout out to BASF Ag Solutions US, National FFA and North Carolina FFA for days like this #BelongAtBASF

Awesome company tonight for dinner with National FFA State Officers in Washington DC. Thanks to BASF Ag Solutions US for your commitment to support training and development of this incredible group from across the country.

Although there is a 35 year difference from when I was an ⁦Illinois FFA⁩ State Officer, it is awesome to connect with the most recently elected team.

Kicked off the week hosting 75 college students as part of the ⁦Agriculture Future of America⁩ Crop Science Institute. So cool to be a sounding board for these students as they think about what a career in ag could look like. Love that ⁦⁦BASF Ag Solutions US⁩ invests in the future.

Early morning trip out of Washington DC.

Our BASF Ag Solutions US Interns are the BEST! Whether they are in our corporate office, research sites, or working with our customer facing teams, they are rockstars. Invest in young people and watch them do great things. #BelongAtBASF

Our home has always been a ‘Buffett House’. He created a world that felt more reflective, more fun, more peaceful, and where everyone could join and sing along. So, we raise one more margarita to the legend…Fins Up!

So proud of the BASF Ag Solutions US team that just spent an exhausting week at the National FFA Convention investing is ag students from across the country…and they would all do it again in a heartbeat (apologies to those friends that are not in this pic)

Just one of the many highlights of the ⁦National FFA⁩ Convention where we literally had to ‘sing for our supper’. I don’t believe you can find a more impressive room of young people anywhere. ⁦BASF Ag Solutions US⁩

Join us this week as we celebrate National FFA Week! Since 1956, BASF has been a proud supporter of FFA and we’re excited to share what FFA is all about and its impact on members and alumni.

Some great cameos…National FFA Officers and Advisor, North Carolina FFA and Texas FFA State Officers, and BASF Ag Solutions US colleagues and friends from across the country. Shout out to everyone that learned the FFA Motto in school! #FFAWeek24

FFA Week is always a highlight for me. It ignited my passion for agriculture, my career…and my wife of 32 years. I will always consider myself fortunate to work for a company, just as passionate as I am for this great organization. BASF Ag Solutions US National FFA

This was a fun conversation to have with my FFA alumni friends. So many things we had in common from the nostalgia when we see the jacket to the life skills we developed, and of course, the hilarious memories. #FFAWeek #belongatBASF

On behalf of almost 200 BASF FFA Alumni and Supporters across the country, thank you for celebrating National FFA Week with us!
