Today, the USDA announced Dr. Jaye L. Hamby as the new Director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). A former national FFA officer (bottom right), Jaye Hamby's lifelong dedication to agriculture—from growing up on his family’s farm to leading groundbreaking research—has shaped the industry and will continue to inspire the next generation of leaders. At the National FFA Organization, we are grateful to be part of the mission to cultivate the future of agriculture. We look forward to seeing Dr. Hamby’s leadership drive innovation, education, and opportunity for students across the country. Join us in congratulating Dr. Hamby on this well-deserved appointment! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g4cTKVmZ

I was an Area officer when Jaye and this entire officer team led Greenhand Tours across the state of Missouri--it's great to see the continued impact FFA leaders are continuing to make today. Congratulations, Jaye!
