What is FFA?

The letters "FFA" stand for Future
Farmers of America; however, in
1988 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.





The Motto


Learning to Do, Doing to Learn,
Earning to Live, Living to Serve.
