The Kansas FFA Association is experiencing exciting growth, a surge of new opportunities for its members, and increasing support from the community and former members. Kansas FFA was chartered by the National FFA Organization in 1928. Since 1928, our membership has grown to approximately 12,000 members in more than 220 chapters across the state. There are FFA chapters in 225 high school agriculture education departments, in 216 unified school districts. Kansas FFA members can be found in 103 of the 105 counties across Kansas, including both rural and urban areas. Our membership strives to create a sense of inclusivity while celebrating our unique backgrounds, stories, and experiences within the agriculture industry.

The association is led by a state officer team dedicated to forming the next generation into future agriculturists. The team is filled with six students who are freshman and sophomores in college serving as president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, reporter, and sentinel. In addition, adult guidance and leadership is provided by the state advisor and executive secretary. The Kansas FFA Association is run by the voices of its members. Therefore, chapter members from across the state serve as delegates at state convention, elect the state officers, and conduct official business of the association.

The official duties of the Kansas FFA Association could not be accomplished without the amazing support we receive from local communities, agribusinesses, alumni, foundation, members and individuals who know the importance of agriculture education. Our annual State FFA Convention continues to evolve into one of the premier state conventions in the nation highlighted by our action-packed general sessions and our ever-growing career show. This opportunity continues to provide our members with leadership experiences, meaningful connections and endless memories that help make this organization so impactful.

One of the most important aspects of Kansas FFA is its dedication to creating a new generation of agriculturists through the experiences students have in agriculture education classes. Agriculture is the wave of the future and will continue to be an essential aspect of our lives, infrastructure and supply chain. Today’s agriculture education students will be the leaders and innovators of tomorrow’s agriculture industry. Each one of our members’ roles will be different; however, they can all take part in advocating for the agriculture industry they know and love. The need for agriculture advocates will always be prevalent. Therefore, Kansas FFA is proud to be at the forefront of preparing students for premier leadership, personal growth and career success in agriculture and many other industries.
