Happy Ohio State FFA Convention week! Ohio Corn & Wheat is proud to support America's future grain producers and youth their agricultural endeavors. One of the ways we do this is by sponsoring the Ohio FFA Foundation. Host Marlene Eick sat down with Jessica Parrish to talk about the organization and how it supports youth. Also in this episode, Luke Crumley shares a recent big win for Ohio growers and the OCW Political Action Committee.
