Historical Beginning

The National FFA Organization, formed in 1928 in Alexandria, VA, has a rich history rooted in vocational agricultural education. The Smith-Hughes Vocational Education Act of 1917 paved the way for FFA, promoting leadership, cooperation, and citizenship among students. Key milestones include the adoption of the FFA Creed and Colors in 1930, the purchase of George Washington's estate in 1939, and significant inclusion milestones with the merging of New Farmers in 1965 and the welcoming of women in 1969. The organization continues to shape future agricultural leaders.
