The National FFA Organization was organized as the "Future Farmers of America" in 1928. In 1988, the official organization name was changed to The National FFA Organization to reflect the broadening field of agriculture, which today characterizes more than 300 careers in everything from agriscience to biotechnology to turf grass management.

​

The National FFA Organization envisions a future in which all agricultural education students will discover their passion in life and build on that insight to chart the course of their education, career and personal future.
