The Jackson Center FFA is a local chapter of the National FFA Organization, formerly known as the Future Farmers of America. "Future Farmers of America" was founded in 1928 by a group of young farmers. Their mission was to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. They taught us that agriculture is more than just planting and harvesting--it's a science, a business, an art.
FFA continues to help the next generation rise up to meet those challenges by helping its members find and develop their own unique talents and explore their interest in a broad range of career pathways.
So today we are still the Future Farmers of America. But we are the Future Biologists, Future Agronimists, Future Chemists, Future Engineers, Future Verterinarians, and Future Entrepreneuers of America too!!
