Garst Offers Marketing Communications Classroom Curriculum, Chapters Can
Win $1,500 in Commercial Competition

If you’re looking to teach your students about marketing communications,
then you’ll want to consider enrolling in Garst Seed Company’s FFA
Commercial Competition. The program has two components: the classroom
curriculum that provides students hands-on exercises and a commercial
portion where chapters can compete for up to $1,500 for developing a
winning radio, print or TV advertisement. Last year, Garst awarded nearly
$7,500 to nine FFA chapters from six states.

This year’s theme “Raising Leaders Through FFA – Cultivating Agriculture’s
Future” helps highlights the benefits of being a member of FFA. The ads
should highlight how FFA helps students become leaders and their role in
keeping agriculture and related industries viable. This is the second year
Garst Seed has sponsored its national commercial competition. Ag
instructors may register their chapters for the competition by sending a
general inquiry e-mail to [log in to unmask] Advisors may also
