“With more than 23 million jobs in the U.S., agriculture is our country’s largest employer and the backbone of our nation,” said Greg Williamson, Arctic Cat’s chief marketing officer. “FFA plays a critical role in the agriculture industry and the success of youth who aspire to be farmers, teachers, doctors, scientists, business owners and more. Arctic Cat will help grow and strengthen the future farmers of America through our participation in FFA’s grant program.”

Arctic Cat and its participating dealers created a special cooperative program that will actively drive participation in FFA’s local chapter grant program, allowing resources to be directed where they are most needed. In addition, the company will display its key all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and side-by-side recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) – many of which are designed and built for the needs of farmers and agriculturists – at the National FFA Convention & Expo in Louisville, Kentucky, Oct. 28-31, 2015. Arctic Cat also will promote FFA on its website and through its media partners.

“We are thankful to Arctic Cat for being a supporter of the National FFA Organization and for raising financial support and community awareness about FFA,” said Molly Ball, National FFA Foundation president.

Added Williamson, “The FFA creed begins with these powerful words: ‘I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds.’ Arctic Cat and its dealers share this conviction and, through this new partnership, will support FFA members financially and through targeted promotion.”
