Careers and Education
Investing in the future of MFA and agriculture.
MFA offers much more than quality products. Our true value lies in the talented team of employees who carry out MFA’s mission to provide forward-thinking knowledge, resources and services to our members and customers. As agriculture evolves, so, too, must the education and training that supports the industry. Incorporating emerging technologies into MFA employee training and agriculture education programs ensures that the workforce — both present and future — is equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the changing landscape of the industry.

Building unity through play
MFA helps Little River Lookout park create a lasting legacy in Leon, Iowa
The Little River Lookout, an inclusive, handicap-accessible playground for children ages 2 to 12, represents the immense impact a community of hard-working volunteers can make in a short amount of time. Over six hot June days, a group of 350 workers—including MFA Ag Experience interns—built the park, which opened June 30. An MFA Charitable Foundation grant helped fund the project.
Like-minded leaders
