Who was the fourth National NFA President from Texas?

• A. Cecil Strickland
• B. William Love
• C. Trent McKnight
• D. Leslie Applegate

Answer: (A)

Cecil Strickland, from Texas, held the role of National NFA President as the fourth person to lead the organization at the national level. The New Farmers of America selected national presidents from among the state associations, and Strickland’s succession marks Texas’ continued involvement in guiding the NFA's national leadership during its years of operation before the merger with FFA. The other names listed did not serve as the fourth National NFA President from Texas—for example, Leslie Applegate was the first National FFA President (not NFA) and hailed from New Jersey, not Texas.
