It's always been a dream of mine to go to a red carpet event. Who knew I would get the chance to go to one in my blue jacket? Minnesota Agri-Growth coordinated a massive celebration of the agricultural industry, affectionately dubbed AgNite. The event was held in conjunction with the Republican National Convention and had a total attendance of around five thousand people. In addition to a red carpet, there were representatives from not only Minnesota, but from across the country present to toast where our industry is going. The night was nearly awe-inspiring as beautiful decoration, complimented by potted corn stalks, giant blocks of cheese, and a John Deere tractor, set up a great atmosphere for conversation about agriculture. It was great to catch up with many familiar faces and to make scores of new contacts. The night wrapped up with a Styx concert on the main stage. The overall message of the event was loud and clear, agriculture is just that exciting right now!

We were glad to have the Minnesota FFA Association represented at AgNite, a nonpartisan celebration of America's food and agriculture industry.
I thought you'd enjoy seeing the video clip of your (and fellow member Brad) interview with the Polichicks (political commentators on FM 107.1) that aired on KSTP-TV. It turned out to be a fun segment!
