Q: "My name is Mikayla Dolch, and I’m serving as the Southwest State Vice President for the Iowa FFA Association. This year’s theme for the National FFA convention is “Amplify.” We want to encourage FFA members to amplify their voice for agriculture. How do you suggest young people advocate for agriculture?"

A: Ted Cruz: "If you look at young people advocating for a future in farming, a future in ranching, part of it is advocating and innovation.  You know, one of the incredible things we’re seeing in farming now is the impact of technology, the impact of new innovations. It’s why America leads the world in agriculture, because we’re not doing subsistence farming anymore, scratching out a plot of land. But it is creative, it’s innovative, and it’s changing the world. And telling that story in a way that captures the imagination, that captures the hopes and futures, uh, of young people I think is a powerful thing.  It’s something FFA does a wonderful job of."
