In what year was the Future Farmers of America established?

• A. 1926
• B. 1927
• C. 1928
• D. 1929

Answer: (C)

The year marks the moment when agricultural education and youth leadership were pulled together into a national organization. In 1928, a group of teachers and students, led by Henry Groseclose, organized the Future Farmers of America at the first national gathering in Kansas City, Missouri. They brought together 33 charter members from 18 states to form a national body dedicated to training young people for careers in agriculture. This year is the official establishment of the organization, which later became the National FFA Organization to reflect a broader membership.
