Agriculture Future of America (AFA)

06/23/2026

AFA Day of Giving is July 15, and we’re already seeing the power of community in action.

This year, a special group of AFA partners is stepping up in a big way by rallying their teams, encouraging employee giving and matching donations to multiply their impact for the next generation of agriculture leaders.

Their support does more than raise dollars. It opens doors for students, expands access to AFA experiences and strengthens the talent pipeline our industry depends on.

To our Day of Giving partners AGCO, AGCO Foundation, BASF Agricultural Solutions, Farm Credit and Valent USA, thank you for leading with purpose and helping build the bridge to agriculture’s future.

Celebrating Zoe Delbridge’s Voice!

As the first student from Alabama A&M University to become involved with AFA, Zoe’s journey began with at the Virtual Animal Institute and grew through AFA Leaders Conference, serving on the Ambassador team and 2023 Student Advisory Team. Along the way, she built confidence, developed leadership skills and helped open doors for other Bulldogs to explore the many opportunities and career paths within agriculture.

Today, Zoe is completing BASF Agricultural Solutions ’s Commercial Professional Development Program, where she has gained experience in Business Operations, Sales and Marketing Enablement and Digital Farming. Her story is a powerful reminder that representation matters, confidence grows when you step outside your comfort zone and every student deserves to know they belong in any room they walk into.

Leadership is not about doing it alone. It is about showing up, building trust, solving the right problems and using your influence to help others succeed.

Devin Fuhrman, Chief Agriculture and Sponsor Relations Officer at Nationwide, joins The Cultivating Leaders Podcast for an honest conversation about servant leadership, building meaningful partnerships and investing in the future of agriculture. With more than 25 years of experience in agriculture, insurance and industry relations, Devin shares how his farm roots, youth experiences and career at Nationwide have shaped the way he leads.

Devin gets real about:
🔵 Strong Partnerships: building on shared values, trust and mutual benefit
🔵 Servant Leadership: shaping your career and strengthening your community
🔵 Balancing High Performance: humility, collaboration and a “healthy dependence on others” matter more than ever

This episode is a reminder that agriculture’s strength has always come from people working together and the future will require leaders who are willing to do the same.
