FFA is a program that teaches students about the environment, its animals, and the ecosystem.
Oley Valley placed first in the nation for the competition this year, and over the past years the Oley Valley FFA program has faired quite well in national competitions.
FFA used to stand for Future Farmers of America◦ The name was dropped over the past few years due to the
overwhelmingly low population of farmers in the present time.
