Each year, FFA chapters around the country celebrate National FFA Week. The week-long tradition began in 1947 when the National FFA Board of Directors designated the week of George Washington’s birthday as National FFA Week in recognition of his legacy as an agriculturist and farmer. The first National FFA Week was held in 1948. Today, FFA Week always runs Saturday to Saturday and encompasses Feb. 22, Washington’s birthday.
The letters “FFA” stand for Future Farmers of America. These letters are a part of our history and our heritage that will never change.But FFA is not just for students who want to be production farmers; FFA also welcomes members who aspire to careers asteachers, doctors, scientists, business owners and more.
