Thought I could clear up a few questions/comments. I will be student teaching in the spring and then become a high school ag teacher/FFA advisor. The organization goes by National FFA Organization since 1988 but still has the name Future Farmers of American (just does business as FFA) Why? Because they realized there is much more to agriculture than just farming and the old name only showcased the production side(and in the mid 1980"s farm crisis nearly killed FFA membership and sponsorship). Now they focus on everything from production ag to food science, biotechnology, business, horticulture, landscaping, ect. Currently, the organization is bigger than ever - over 500,000 student members. FFA is part of ag class. Ag Education is supposed to have 3 parts - classroom, FFA, and SAE. These are intra-curricular activites - ie part of class. I know an ag program"s quality varies by the quality of the ag teacher. With official dress, it has not changed much over the years but I know in my area noboby shows livestock in official dress. Official is reserved for formal events and other FFA attire - t-shirt, polo shirt, ect. are for other events - shows, meetings, some contests. National Convention (which I attended) is the largest annual youth gathering in the world and you see the best and worst. FFA and ag education is important to our future - regardless of your involvement in agriculture - because they focus on premier leadership, personal growth, and career success for students - who doesn"t need more of that?
