National FFA Organization

The National FFA Organization, formerly known as Future Farmers of America, is a dynamic youth organization dedicated to preparing members for leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. Established in 1928, FFA has evolved to encompass a broad spectrum of agricultural disciplines, including science, business, and technology. This reflects the diverse opportunities within the agriculture industry.

With over 1 million members across 9,235 chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, FFA is one of the largest student-led organizations in the nation.

These chapters operate within state associations, each offering unique programs and competitions tailored to their members' interests.
