Investing in Rural America’s Future: Tractor Supply on Hometown Heroes and Ag Education

Supporting the people who serve their communities and the students who will carry agriculture forward is a smart investment in rural America’s future. On this episode of Farm+Food+Facts, host Joanna Guza talks with Marti Skold-Jordan, interim Foundation Executive Director for Tractor Supply Company, about the company’s Hometown Heroes program and why it backs agriculture education. Skold-Jordan explains how that support strengthens agriculture and helps build tomorrow’s farmers, ranchers, and Tractor Supply customers.
