Fastenal has formed a corporate partnership with agriculture education nonprofit the National FFA Organization, company officials announced Monday.

Under the agreement, Fastenal Senior Executive Vice President of Sales Casey Miller will join the National FFA Sponsors' Board, and the Minnesota-based distributor will expand its presence at the National FFA Convention and Expo held annually in October.

Fastenal will also provide grants to state FFA associations and local chapters, make five Fastenal-funded college scholarship programs available through the FFA grant application platform, and offer financial support for members to secure FFA “Blue Jackets.”

“FFA is a great organization, and Fastenal is proud to support their efforts to develop the next generation of leaders inside and outside of agriculture,” Fastenal CEO Dan Florness said in the announcement.
