A couple of hundred students learned there’s something good in agriculture beyond what they traditionally think of as an “ag job.”<\/p>\n
The Ariat Texas Rattlers hosted nearly 200 FFA students from across Texas in Fort Worth for the new Chevron Ride Into Your Future career event. <\/p>\n
It’s about showcasing the future of agriculture.<\/p>\n
An interactive portion had students moving to “Find Your Why Career Corners”, choosing among four pathways: Build It, Protect It, Improve It, or Promote It. Each of these corners showcased how those interests translate into real-world careers ranging from welding, veterinary medicine, and land management to engineering, data science, broadcasting, photography, marketing, and public relations.<\/p>\n
The event was part of the Texas Rattlers and Chevron\u2019s larger Ride for Agriculture initiative. it was built around a simple question: what is your \u201cwhy,\u201d and how could that translate into a future in agriculture?<\/p>\n
The Chevron Ride for Agriculture will invest an estimated $100,000 in leadership development and agricultural education across 12 Texas FFA chapters during the 2026\u201327 school year. <\/p>\n
The statewide program equips high school FFA students to teach hands-on agricultural lessons in elementary classrooms while strengthening their own leadership, communication, and workforce-readiness skills. <\/p>\n
