The FFA is a dynamic youth organization that is an intracurricular part of agricultural education programs at middle and high schools. Founded as the Future Farmers of America, the name was changed in 1988 to reflect the growing diversity of agriculture. Today, student members are engaged in a wide range of curriculum and FFA activities, leading to over 300 career opportunities in agriculture. The vision of the FFA is to Grow Leaders, Build Communities, and Strengthen Agriculture.
