National FFA Week

Every year since 1947, FFA chapters celebrate National FFA Week from Saturday to Saturday . The tradition started in 1947, when the National FFA board of directors designated the week of George Washington's birthday as the National FFA week, in honor of his legacy as a agriculturalist and a farmer. At first it was not a week long event, and was only a day. National FFA week is an opportunity for member, alumni, and sponsors to advocate and spread agricultural education and the FFA program. It's also a great way to show others what FFA means to you and the impacts it has on others.
