Presentation Transcript

  1. What is FFA F-F-A stands for Future Farmers of America, which is the official name of the organization, but we don’t use the full name and instead operate as the “FFA” because Future Farmers of America implies that we are all preparing to be farmers.  Agriculture is much broader than farming and ranching.  Members study things such as horticulture, aquaculture, food sciences, accounting, wildlife management, mechanics and engineering.

  2. Tell me… • You could be the next Star Greenhand Standing on stage in front of 9000 Texas FFA members ….

  3. State FFA Convention

  4. Why FFA? FFA is a dynamic student-led leadership development organization for students of agricultural education. The FFA changes lives and prepares students for premier leadership, personal growth & career success.

  5. Are FFA members going to be farmers? Yes and No Agriculture is a very broad field of study.  Members study things like landscaping, floriculture, animal science, computer applications, accounting, environmental science, mechanics and engineering.  Regardless of an FFA member’s career choice the FFA provides opportunities to build and apply math, science, technology and leadership skills to their life.

  21. Does everyone have to raise a cow or pig in FFA? No  Every FFA member must have a supervised agricultural experience program or SAE as we call it.  An SAE is a project or enterprise that gives members hands-on training and a chance to apply what is learned in the classroom.  Livestock projects are very popular, but there are a lot of options: placement in an agricultural job, internships, experimental work in agri-science, horticultural projects and crop projects are just a few.

  22. National FFA OrganizationOne Mission: Student Success For 75 years, FFA has focused on success for students in education, careers and in life. FFA helps“Open the Door”to a brighter future.

  23. What’s up with the blue corduroy jacket? The blue corduroy jacket was adopted at the official dress after the Fredericktown, Ohio chapter had the blue jackets made for their local chapter in 1933 and came to the national FFA convention wearing them.  The delegates at that convention voted to make that the official jacket, and they have been part of the official uniform ever since. Insert picture of someone in OD WE wear the FFA Official dress for conventions, leadership contests and formal occasions. For all other activities in FFA we wear our FFA Chapter t-shirts, our FFA officer shirts or other appropriate attire for the event.

  24. Do you have to be a cowboy to be in FFA? Western wear is popular among many FFA members, but is definitely not a requirement.  Some of our members are involved with beef and horse projects and value the rural way of life, but FFA members come with all kinds of styles and interests.  From big cities like Houston and San Antonio to small towns all over Texas, what brings FFA members together is their interest in agriculture, leadership and community service.
