Who We Aee
The National FFA Organization—originally founded in 1928 as "Future Farmers of America"—was created by a group of young farmers with a vision to prepare future generations for the ever-evolving challenges of feeding the world. Today, FFA is a dynamic youth leadership organization that recognizes agriculture as more than just farming—it's a blend of science, business, and art that impacts nearly every aspect of life.
What We Do
The LMS FFA Chapter is actively involved in a wide variety of programs and events, all organized into three key areas of focus: Student Development – Enhancing personal growth and career success through agricultural education. Chapter Development – Building strong, effective chapters that create meaningful experiences for members. Community Development – Serving and supporting our local community through agricultural and leadership initiatives.
