The Future Farmers of America no longer exists. The
complete title was dropped in the 1970s in favor of
just FFA. The organization which began in the 1920s
was boys only and was affiliated with rural town HS
vocational agriculture science classes. Girls were
brought in during the early 70s and FFA chapters
started springing up in urban areas. Enough people
believed that the word “farmer” stigmatized the
organization as interest in agri-business careers
was booming that the title was dropped. As a son
of the 60s I regret the loss of the great title.
Farming is among the most noble of professions and
it is the cornerstone of all agricultural endeavors.
