The National FFA Organization is an American youth organization, specifically a career and technical student organization, based on middle and high school classes that promote and support agricultural education. Originally founded in 1925 at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, by agriculture teachers, Henry C. Groseclose, Walter Newman, Edmund Magill and Harry Sanders as Future Farmers of Virginia, in 1928 it became a nationwide organization known as Future Farmers of America. In 1988 the name was changed to the National FFA Organization, now commonly referred to as simply FFA, to recognize that the organization is for those with diverse interests in the food, fiber and natural resource industries, encompassing science, business and technology in addition to production agriculture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FFA History )〕 Today FFA is among the largest youth organization in the United States, with 610,240 members in 7,665 chapters〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Statistics )〕 throughout all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.

The organization holds a congressional charter under Title 36 of the United States Code.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=36 USC § 70901 – Organization )〕 ==Overview== The National FFA Organization is a youth leadership organization that makes a positive difference in the lives of young people by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agriculture education.
