Burr Ridge, October 30, 2019
CNH Industrial (NYSE: CNHI /MI: CNHI) will be
putting the future of farming technology in front of young people
at one of the largest student conventions in the world.
As a sponsor of the Blue Room at the 92nd
National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis, CNH Industrial
will showcase the latest in precision farming technology from its
Case IH and New Holland brands to the approximately 69,900
attendees. Presented by AgriNovus Indiana and powered by Microsoft,
the FFA Blue Room delivers experiential learning and
thought-provoking exposure to the convergence of agriculture,
technology, human health, engineering and more as part of FFA Blue
365. The FFA Organization is focused on promoting and supporting
agricultural education. Through sponsors and speakers, attendees
can experience the many opportunities that provide solutions to
agriculture.
“Last year we saw tremendous success with the
FFA Blue Room. We are providing students the opportunity to
consider careers they never knew existed and to connect the
innovation and technology transforming agriculture to tomorrow’s
global challenges. This is not technology for technology’s sake –
this is about the next generation of leaders charting the course
for the future of agriculture,” says Blaze Currie, Team Leader for
the National FFA Organization.
Students will have the chance to sit in the
driver’s seat of one of agriculture’s most advanced machines, the
New Holland Genesis T8 with PLM Intelligence cab simulator. The
company’s booth will also demonstrate the many applications of
precision agriculture on the farm, and focus on daily themes such
as alternative fuels, methane-powered equipment, autonomous
control, and feed and water quality.
“Our world faces unprecedented challenges around
food, environment and energy, but innovations such as our precision
agriculture technologies will help our next generations meet those
challenges head-on in sustainable ways,” says Brett Davis, Vice
President, New Holland North America.
CNH Industrial will also be sharing its
expertise around the future of farming and food production by being
part of the FFA Blue Room speaker series. Dan Halliday, CNH
Industrial Director of Global Precision Solutions and Telematics
Product Management will discuss how the Company is preparing
agriculture to meet current and upcoming challenges in his ‘Going
beyond Farming 4.0’ presentation.
“Young people are our future. We have a long
history with FFA and we are proud to support this year’s Convention
and Expo,” says Scott Harris, Vice President, Case IH North
America. “This is part of our company’s commitment to
sustainability and investment in students, education and
communities.”
