What metal is the Greenhand FFA Degree pin made of?

The Greenhand FFA Degree pin is made of bronze, a metal known for its durability and appealing appearance. Bronze is commonly associated with achievements and is often used in awards and recognitions due to its historical significance and value. The choice of bronze for the Greenhand pin symbolizes the initial level of accomplishment in the FFA (Future Farmers of America) organization, serving as a tangible recognition for new members who have demonstrated their commitment and understanding of basic agricultural concepts. This level is foundational for their future involvement and progress within FFA, making the use of bronze fitting for a starting milestone. Other metals, while valuable in their own right, were not selected for the Greenhand pin, as they may not convey the appropriate symbolism of beginning one's journey in FFA.
