LOVELAND, CO (October 20, 2025) - Nutrien Ag Solutions is inviting FFA chapters nationwide to test their farm management skills in a new digital challenge designed to connect students with the realities of modern agriculture through the Farmers 2050 Contest.

The three National FFA Organization chapters with the highest scores on Farmers 2050, formerly known as Journey 2050, during the National FFA Global Event Contest will receive the following donations to their chapters:
• First Place: $1,000 donated to their FFA Chapter
• Second Place: $500 donated to their FFA Chapter
• Third Place: $250 donated to their FFA Chapter

The Global Event gameplay will run from 10:00 am on Monday, October 20, 2025, through 08:00 pm on Sunday, November 2, 2025 EST. Each chapter can register up to 50 players to compete as a team. Full contest rules and requirements can be found on the contest's homepage.

"Farmers 2050 is as close as you can get to the realities of owning and operating a farm in a gaming format. It's a great educational resource for students interested in pursuing a career in the agriculture industry because it simulates the decision-making process that farmers are faced with each day," said Spencer Harris, Senior Vice President of Global Retail Operations, and member of the National FFA Foundation Sponsors Board. "We're looking forward to seeing a bit of friendly competition between FFA chapters during convention to see who lands on the leaderboard."

During the National FFA Convention, Nutrien Ag Solutions can be found at booth #630. Alongside the Farmers 2050 Global Event Contest, the team will also be offering the following experiences for FFA students and advisors:
• A giveaway where three lucky students will win co-branded National FFA and Nutrien Ag Solutions sneakers.
• Back by popular demand - customized airbrush t-shirts.
• Nutrien Agronomy Drone Feature with brief educational presentations that will be held at:
o 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 29, and Thursday, October 30.
o 10:00 a.m. on Friday, October 31.

This year also marks a special milestone for Harris, who will be receiving an Honorary American Degree during the convention on Friday morning.

"FFA has been a huge part of my life and has helped shape me in so many ways. I'm incredibly grateful to the National FFA Organization for this honor and to be trusted with the responsibility of representing my teammates at Nutrien Ag Solutions on the National FFA Foundation Sponsors Board," said Harris.

Nutrien Ag Solutions has been a proud supporter of FFA for over 45 years. Last year, the team solidified their continued support of FFA with a commitment of a 3-year investment of $850,000. The funds are used for competitive event support for members, comprehensive professional development for advisors, and a notable scholarship of $10,000 for National FFA Officers at their service year's end. The investment also includes Nutrien Alumni Scholarships, in which alumni chapters can apply for a $5,000 grant to help with programming for their chapter. This commitment also includes support for alumni chapters, strengthening the foundation for ongoing agricultural engagement and learning.
