Founded in 1928, the Future Farmers of America brought together students, teachers and agribusiness to solidify support for agricultural education. Since 1928, millions of agriculture students - no one knows exactly how many - have donned the official FFA jacket and championed the FFA creed.

Anderson FFA prides itself on giving its members opportunities to get involved at the local, state and national level. FFA members are given opportunities to travel to leadership conferences, including the State FFA Convention in Fresno, California and the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. Through all this, students learn skills that will follow them through their lives. Recordkeeping, evaluation and public speaking are just a few. Anderson FFA currently competes in: Public Speaking, Parliamentary Procedure, Best Informed Greenhand, Agronomy, and Vegetable Crop competitions.

Students with an SAE learn by doing. With help from their agricultural teachers, students develop an SAE project based on one or more SAE categories:

• Ownership/Entrepreneurship

• Placement/Internship

• Research Exploratory

• School-Based Enterprise

• Service-Learning
