Ada-Borup-West FFA

The National FFA Organization, formerly Future Farmers of America, is an American youth organization, based in middle and high school classes, that promotes and supports agricultural education. Today, FFA has over 1,000,000 members across all 50 states, Puerto Rico & the US Virgin Islands. These students strive for premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education. It is currently the largest student organization in the US. 

FFA members compete in various events called Career Development Events (CDEs) and Leadership Development Events (LDE's), which range from Agricultural Sales to Dairy Cattle Evaluation, Job Interview to Forestry, and everything in between. Members also participate in leadership development camps, meetings, and activities. 

Each student can also participate in a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program, which is designed to broaden the students’ abilities and experience in different fields of agriculture. Students are supervised by agricultural education teachers in cooperation with parents, employers and other adults who assist individuals in the development and achievement of educational and career goals.
