FFA is Leadership by Example
Darlene’s Pet
Wednesday, February 21, 2018 Kern Valley Sun D6
ffa.org
The roots of FFA originate from a time when boys were losing interest and leaving the farm. Walter S. New-man, who in September 1925 became the Vir-ginia State Supervisor of Agricultural Educa-tion, sought a solution to the problem with Ed-mund C. Magill, Harry W. Sanders and Henry C. Groseclose, staff members of the Virgin-ia Polytechnic Institute Agricultural Education Department.
Newman proposed forming an organiza-tion that offered farm boys "a greater oppor-tunity for self-expres-sion and for the devel-opment of leadership. In this way they will develop confidence in their own ability and pride in the fact that they are farm boys."
Henry C. Groseclose-Groseclose immedi-ately began work on a constitution and bylaws for the new organiza-tion, and he later sug-gested a name: Future Farmers of Virginia.
The idea was pre-
sented during an annual vocational rally in the state in April 1926, where it was met positively. The Future Farmers of Virginia was born.
Two years later, the idea reached the na-tional stage during the American Royal Live-stock Show in Kansas City, Mo. That's when 33 young students from 18 states gathered at the Hotel Baltimore to establish the Future Farmers of America. The group elected Les-lie Applegate of Free-hold, N.J., as its first president and adopted the national emblem – a mark similar to that of the original Virginia emblem – during the new organization's first convention.
In 1929, national blue and corn gold became the official colors of FFA. A year later, delegates adopted the official FFA Creed and by 1933 the famil-iar Official Dress of blue corduroy jackets was adopted after convention delegates were enthralled by the jackets worn to Kansas City by members of the
Fredericktown, Ohio, FFA chapter.
The New Farmers of America
Less than a decade after the formation of the Future Farmers of America in 1928, a na-tional organization for African-American boys interested in agriculture formed in Tuskegee, Ala. The New Farm-ers of America was modeled after another Virginia organization – the New Farmers of Virginia – and began in 1935. The New Farm-ers of Virginia was in-strumentally started by G.W. Owens and J.R. Thomas, teacher-edu-cators in agricultural education at Virginia State College, and Dr. H.O. Sargent, a federal agricultural education official who later pro-posed NFA.
The NFA and FFA shared common beliefs. The NFA Creed had six paragraphs, each begin-ning with "I believe," and its emblem fea-tured only one stylistic difference: an outline in the shape of a cotton boll instead of an ear of corn. A total of 13 states received NFA
charters, and by 1965 the NFA and FFA con-solidated in recognition of shared missions for agricultural education.
In 1973, Texas' Fred McClure became the first African-American national FFA officer, and in 1994 Chica-go's Corey Flournoy became the first Afri-can-American national FFA president.
Female Members Gain Official Standing
Girls were restricted from the earliest forms of FFA membership by delegate vote at the 1930 national conven-tion. The decision to deny female members for many years denied recognition of the key role women have played on farms and in agriculture since the days of the American pioneers.
It wasn't until 1969 that females gained full FFA membership privileges by vote of the national convention delegates, despite many state associations per-mitting female mem-bers long before. New York's Anita Decker and New Jersey's Patri-cia Krowicki became
the first two female delegates to the nation-al convention in 1970.
Today, females represent more than 45 percent of FFA mem-bers and roughly half of all state leadership positions. In 1976, Washington's Julie Smiley became the first female national FFA officer. California's Jan Eberly became the first female National FFA President in 1982. In 2002, Wisconsin's Kar-lene Lindow became the first female FFA member to earn the prestigious American Star Farmer Award.
FFA TodaySince 1928, millions
of agriculture stu-dents have donned the official FFA jacket and championed the FFA Creed. All 50 states and two U.S. territories are currently chartered members of the nation-al organization, repre-senting 653,359 student members who belong to one of 8,568 local FFA chapters. It's a testament to the power of common goals and the strong ideals of the FFA founders.
Their mission was to
prepare future genera-tions for the challenges of feeding a growing population. They taught us that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting – it's a science, it's a business and it's an art.
Today, the Nation-al FFA Organization remains committed to the individual student, providing a path to achievement in premier leadership, personal growth and career suc-cess through agricultur-al education.
FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet those challenges by helping its members to devel-op their own unique talents and explore their interests in a broad range of agricul-tural career pathways. So today, we are still the Future Farmers of America. But, we are the Future Biolo-gists, Future Chemists, Future Veterinarians, Future Engineers and Future Entrepreneurs of America, too.
