“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.”
