Missouri Corn CEO Recognized With Honorary American FFA Degree
(JEFFERSON CITY, Mo)–The Missouri Corn Growers Association (MCGA) and Missouri Corn Merchandising Council (MCMC) CEO Bradley Schad of Versailles, Mo., was recognized today with the Honorary American FFA Degree at the 97th National FFA Convention & Expo in Indianapolis, In.
“I’m humbled and honored to receive this award,” Schad states. “Growing up on the farm, I knew I wanted to be involved in the agriculture industry and FFA provided leadership and growth opportunities to help get me where I am today. I’m proud to continue supporting the organization that gave me and many others the tools for success.”
The Honorary American FFA Degree is given to individuals who advance agricultural education and FFA through outstanding personal commitment. Nominations are first submitted to the individual’s state FFA association for approval before being endorsed by the National FFA Organization’s board of directors.
As a member of the Versailles FFA Chapter, Schad earned both the State and American FFA Degrees. Recognizing education is a crucial component in moving the industry forward, Missouri Corn has been and remains dedicated to investing in efforts to expand agriculture outreach. Schad was celebrated during an onstage ceremony earlier this morning. All beneficiaries received a plaque and medal, and their names will be permanently recorded as recipients of this exceptional honor.
