“It’s exciting to watch the interest in agricultural education and FFA continue to grow,” says National FFA CEO Scott Stump. “We know there are many opportunities in the field of agriculture – from being a leader in your community to filling the need in the talent pipeline in one of the more than 350 careers in agriculture. Together, we welcome our members to a family that cultivates growth, leadership, and a brighter future in agriculture.”
FFA, formerly known as “Future Farmers of America,” was founded in 1928. Today, FFA reaches middle and high school students in both rural and urban communities. The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education.
