Our Commitment to FFA
Cultivating tomorrow's agriculturists by equipping students with the skills, knowledge, and experiences they need to thrive in their careers and make lasting contributions to the agricultural industry.
FFA programs throughout Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee play a crucial role in nurturing the next generation of agricultural leaders.
For more than three decades, Farm Credit Mid-America has proudly championed FFA Associations across our territory, helping students build the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to thrive in their future careers. Whether it's through hands-on involvement at local chapters or active participation in state and national conventions, our team members are deeply woven into the fabric of FFA. You’ll find them among the sea of blue and gold—many as former members themselves, and many still engaged today as volunteers, mentors, and proud parents.
Planting Seeds of Leadership
