Who We Are
"Future Farmers of America" was founded by a group of young farmers in 1928. Their mission was to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. They taught us that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting - it's a science, it's a business and it's an art. 

 

What We Do
The LMS FFA Chapter participates in an array of activities composed into 3 categories: Student Development, Chapter Development, and Community Development.  

 

Who can Join?
Students between the ages of 12 and 21 who are enrolled in a systematic course of instruction in agricultural education are eligible for membership. Your local school system must offer agricultural instruction and have an active FFA chapter for you to join.
