INDIANAPOLIS — Around 50,000 students from across the country gathered in Indianapolis for the 94th National FFA Convention and Expo.

Friends reunited to explore Indy and learn about agriculture for the first time since 2019. Last year, the convention was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Students learned about sustainability and innovation, watched the rodeo and enjoyed a concert.

Indianapolis will host the convention each year through 2033.

Here’s a glimpse of this year’s convention:
