Their mission was to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. They taught us that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting-- it's a science, it's a business and it's an art. FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet those challenges by helping its members to develop their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range o
f career pathways. But, we are the Future Biologists, Future Chemists, Future Veterinarians, Future Engineers and Future Entrepreneurs of America, too. Our Structure
FFA is structured on three levels: local, state and national. At the national level, FFA is led by a board of directors and six student national officers. What do the letters "FFA" stand for? 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. How is FFA Funded? FFA programs are funded through sponsorships and private donations at the local, state and national level. National dues for each member are $7 per year.
