History

The Roots of our Chapter

The Sutter FFA chapter was started in 1935 and it was the 144th chapter in the state of Califorina. Our chapter started out with 32 members and has now grown to just over 340 members since 1935. In May of 1939, Austin Lemenager was our first Star State Farmer. Sutter FFA's first and only state officer was Jon Carrithers, Vice President from the years 1971-72.
