As part of an ongoing partnership between Microsoft and National FFA, FarmBeats for Students, receive a sizeable upgrade. National FFA Organization Chief Program Officer Christine White says this program exposes students to precision agriculture. “Most importantly, we were able to give it a facelift that allows students to really be able to dive in with an accompanying curriculum to look at how technology impacts agriculture and bring to life that there is an intersect between technology and agriculture.” According to White, the program is in a testing phase now with 65 FFA chapters across four states taking part in the pilot program, but a full roll-out could happen as soon as the 2024-25 school year.
