Tractor Supply Company Supports Youth with FFA Fundraiser

By Jamie Martin

Tractor Supply Company, the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the United States, has kicked off its 11th annual National FFA T-shirt fundraiser. This campaign provides a special-edition T-shirt designed to honor the 98th National FFA Convention and Expo, with all proceeds benefiting FFA chapters and student initiatives across the country.

This year’s shirt reflects the 2025 convention theme, “Empower,” which celebrates the organization’s goal of inspiring students to lead and positively influence their communities. Tractor Supply developed several designs before FFA officers selected the final artwork that captures the theme’s spirit.

Funds raised from sales support vital FFA programs such as “Living to Serve,” which encourages student community projects, “Alumni Legacy Grants,” offering $1,000 scholarships to agricultural education majors, and the “Gift of Blue,” which provides FFA jackets to members in need.

“Each year, we look forward to the opportunity to design and sell the iconic FFA Convention T-shirt,” said Joe Fell, Vice President Merchandise Presentation, Promotions and Events at Tractor Supply. “While the shirt provides a unique way for FFA members and alumni to commemorate each year’s theme, it also helps us support the organization’s important work preparing students for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture. We are excited to reveal this year’s design as we work alongside FFA to empower the next generation.”

Since partnering with FFA in 1985, Tractor Supply has raised more than $24 million for agricultural education. The Tractor Supply Company Foundation also contributed over $1 million to the 2026 FFA Future Leaders Scholarship Fund, which supports students pursuing agricultural careers and skilled trades.

The 98th National FFA Convention and Expo will be held October 29 to November 1 in Indianapolis, Indiana, bringing together thousands of members and alumni for education, leadership training, and networking.
