similar organizations had
been started in several
states. Today it has state
associations in all states as
well as Puerto Rico.
The vocational agriculture
or agribusiness programs
are funded in part by the
National Vocational
Education Acts through the
U.S Office of Education,
state departments of
education and local school
systems. The FFA operates
under a federal charter
granted by an Act of
Congress in 1950. The
charter provides for a
national board of directors
and a board of student of
ficers elected from the
membership.
FFA activities are
designed to be a part of the
instructional program in
vocational agriculture.
Members are to learn
through active participation
how to conduct and take part
in public meetings, how to
speak in public, and how to
take a leadership role in
their school and their
community.
Programs in FFA have
grown over the years since
its beginning in 1928. Today
they include agriculture
products, agricultural
processing, forestry, hor
ticulture, ag mechanics, and
pre-professional agriculture
