Tractor Supply helping FFA
The Newport Tractor Supply Company store will collect donations during National FFA Week to support grants for FFA chapters in TN. During National FFA Week, through Feb. 26, Tractor Supply shoppers can donate $1 or more at checkout. Donations will fund the Grants for Growing Program, which supports Tennessee FFA chapters that are making a difference in their communities with unique and sustainable agricultural projects. The program is coordinated through a partnership with the National FFA Foundation and Tractor Supply. In 2016, the program’s first year, Grants for Growing raised more than $700,000, funding 374 grants supporting projects. Earlier this year, FFA chapters submitted applications detailing how they will start or expand a project that will benefit their communities and future FFA students. Winning FFA chapter initiatives will be awarded Grants for Growing in the spring. The minimum competitive grant amount is $500 for chapters. All in-store donations remain in the state in which they were raised.
