Innovation Never Stops Returns for Season 2 with More Insights and Resources
October 23, 2026
Helena Agri-Enterprises has announced the Emmy-nominated documentary series Innovation Never Stops will return for a second season at the 99th National FFA Convention and Expo in Indianapolis, Indiana. Alongside the new season, Helena is introducing expanded classroom resources and a grant opportunity to help educators bring agricultural innovation into the classroom. Debuting in November, the new season will continue giving teachers and students an inside look at the people and technologies shaping modern agriculture.
“Supporting the next generation of ag innovators starts with educators,” says Bill Smith, National Integrated Marketing Manager with Helena. “Since its launch at the FFA Convention last year, Innovation Never Stops has reached 134 educators across 36 states with classroom-ready agricultural resources.”
nnovation Never Stops takes viewers on a journey across the country, visiting laboratories, research facilities and diverse growing operations to reveal how Helena products come to life and drive progress. Told through the experiences of farmers and the Helena experts working alongside them, Innovation Never Stops explores agronomic challenges and uncovers solutions to define what it means to innovate. Throughout the series, what starts with an experiment at the Helena Products Group (HPG) Innovation Center in Tennessee goes through years of refinement before finding its place on a livestock operation in California or a fruit and vegetable operation in Michigan.
Each episode includes companion curriculum designed to take lessons from the field to the classroom and broaden student knowledge of the industry and its impact on their lives. Lesson plans break down episodes into vocabulary, fun facts and discussion topics for youth, with the goal of introducing students to the world of crop science and ag business and the career opportunities they provide. New educator curriculum and interactive activities are now available, providing teachers with engaging, real-world tools to help students experience agricultural innovation firsthand.
Along with new classroom materials, Helena will sponsor its 2nd Annual Innovation Grant. FFA chapters will be eligible to win this grant by participating in the AI360® simulation at booth 2672 during the FFA Convention this week. AI360 is a data and spatial information management platform, powered by AGRIntelligence®. Through the power of AI360, users can input key field attributes, access state-of-the-art processing technology and produce insights founded in strong agronomic principles and practices.
Teachers are encouraged to sign up at helenaagri.com/innovation/ffa to claim their free materials before Season 2 of Innovation Never Stops drops in November. The program also extends beyond the classroom guide itself. Educators are invited to stay connected to future Innovation Never Stops resources and request a Helena representative to visit their classroom or FFA chapter to share field insights, lead demonstrations and discuss careers in agricultural innovation.
