When did the National FFA Week commence?

The National FFA Week began in 1948, marking a significant moment in the history of the organization. This week is dedicated to celebrating the National FFA Organization and its contributions to agricultural education and leadership development. The choice of the year 1948 is notable because it was the first time that FFA chapters across the country participated in a week-long celebration, designed to highlight the importance of agricultural education and to promote the FFA organization within local communities. This initiative has since evolved into an annual tradition, underscoring the impact and relevance of FFA in fostering leadership, personal growth, and agricultural awareness among students.
