What is FFA?
FFA is a dynamic youth organization that is a part of agricultural education programs at middle and high schools. Today, student members are engaged in a wide range of curriculum and FFA activities, leading to over 300 career opportunities in agriculture FFA is structured on three levels: local, state and national.
What do the letters "FFA" stand for?
The letters "FFA" stand for Future Farmers of America; however, in 1998 the official name of the organization was changed from "Future Farmers of America" to "The National FFA Organization" to reflect the growing diversity of agriculture. FFA is committed to developing character and leadership skills, as well as preparing members for a lifetime of civic leadership and career success.
