Frequently Asked Questions
Who can be a member? Students are required to enroll in at least one ag class in order to be an FFA member
Is it only for farmers? NO! FFA is an organization that is dedicated to the growth and development of students through leadership training, career exploration and fun! In DeForest very few students are farmers (because there are not many left!)
How much are dues? Our chapter is an affiliated chapter, which means all students in FFA classes get membership free. Our FFA Alumni covers the annual cost for all members.
What is required of members? Simply stated-- as much as you want! We understand high school schedules-- therefore the only requirement for advancement within FFA is the Annual Banquet in May!
What is the point system? FFA members that participate in events can earn points! The top 10 point earners get a summer trip for FREE!
