Jack Lingenfelter interviews Zeke Chapman, owner of Support Georgia Agriculture. Chapman knew he wanted to help the Georgia FFA Foundation in some way during the Covid pandemic. As someone who specializes in custom apparel, he put a piece of artwork focusing on Georgia agriculture on a T-shirt and sold it online, then donated the proceeds to the foundation. He ran the fundraiser for two weeks, raising $15,000, so he decided to make it a permanent brand. 25% of every item sold directly benefits the Georgia FFA Foundation to support educational programs and scholarships for the kids who will one day be feeding America. Support Georgia Agriculture has now become a staple in the Georgia Agriculture community.
