(NAFB.com) – Federal lawmakers are demanding answers from the National FFA Organization about its partnership with the Syngenta group. The officials are concerned about the Communist-Party-controlled agribusiness as well as the organization’s push for DEI initiatives. The inquiry is being led by the House Ways and Means Committee and the Congressional FFA Caucus, which say the organization’s relationship with the Syngenta Group raises concerns about foreign influence and whether FFA is operating in line with its stated mission as a tax-exempt nonprofit. House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith and FFA Caucus co-chair Tracey Mann sent a letter to Scott Stump, CEO of the National FFA organization, demanding documents and answers related to the partnership, Syngenta’s role in shaping internal policies, and the organization’s compliance with federal tax law. “Working with a foreign adversary and prioritizing woke policies raises serious concerns about whether National FFA is complying with the requirements to maintain tax-exempt status,” the lawmakers said.
