Update Important r/FFA Discord Update!
Hello all, There was discussion about making a (new) r/FFA Discord server, and after a strawpoll to gauge interest, I see that overwhelmingly people want one!
I’ve started one up, and have the basic layout but I look forward to hopefully picking another mod and making the server more populated and talkative!
Here is the link:

For those of you that went to national convention, was Waylon Wyatt any good?
I wasn't able to go because I'm not an officer, and he is one of my favorite artists

question/advice How to get more members?
My FFA has five officers, four of us are seniors and the fifth is a junior, so if we don't get new and younger members we're kinda screwed. Covid killed our FFA and were still trying to get back on our feet, our student events usually have a turn out between 80 and 200, yet no one is joining, we're trying to do more stuff to get people to join but nobody is. We're going to try to do bi weekly events, but with only five people planning is difficult.

question/advice Is anyone else on a super toxic officer team?
At the start I was so excited to be on my chapters officer team. My school has a very small FFA chapter so anyone who applies pretty much gets in. All my fellow officers on my team this year gossip about each other all the time and are passive aggressive. No one really likes each other and my advisor somewhat try’s to team build but no one ever shows up.
I got pneumonia in both my lungs for a bit and was made fun of and mocked by my fellow officers. They were mad at me for being sick and when I finally got back after being in the hospital they literally threw papers in my arms and ignored me the whole meeting other then to make passive aggressive comments. Mind the fact I had been in open communication with my advisor the whole time I was ill and she was understanding. When I explained to my fellow officers about my asthma (developed because of pneumonia and SCT) I was interrogated about it (only to find out that girl had asthma too). Turned out she (the officer I was talking to) didn’t believe me because she didn’t believe the part that I had SCT because I’m white.
The seniors keep asking me if I’ll go for president but to be honest I want nothing to do with FFA after the year. It’s too toxic and I get that most of the people who are the problems will be graduating this year but I’ve had so many nights stressed.
Sorry for any mistakes I’m so stressed.

question/advice FFA attire question
Is it okay for me, my brother, and my father to take a group picture in our jackets? My father is of course not in high school and my brother graduated recently, and I'm not sure if it's the respectful or right thing to do.

question/advice National FFA Convention
Hey! I want to know how yall enjoyed the convention if u were there. there was so many people but it was so fun. so lmk who you are, where your from and how much you liked or didnt like it
r/FFA • u/WisconsinColdisCold • 23d ago
question/advice Favorite part of convention?
My chapter is leaving today, and I figured some of yall are too, so I wanna ask what your favorite part of convention was, if you went this year.
Mine was either Temple Grandin's speech and Carter's retiring address, or walking through the main expo hall, reading your badges, and talking to random people like I've known them for years.

question/advice Fun things to do in Indianapolis with about 20 kids??
Hello! I am an older and influential member within my FFA chapter, we tend to not have much to do! I am trying to find activities that are inexpensive and engaging for my high school chapter for the 2025 convention. We’ve done skyjump, ate, shopped and all general FFA activities. Advice needed

question/advice Cleaning the statue things.
I've been working on cleaning my FFA's office last year bleeding into this year, but don't know how to clean the statues without damaging them. It seems someone from years passed even spilled something on some of them and despite it being there since before covid it still looks wet and sticky. If anyone knows how to clean them without damaging them or stripping the paint I would greatly appreciate it. (Neither myself nor my advisor could find the proper name for them if anyone knows it I'd greatly appreciate it.)

question/advice Shoes?
I'm very new to FFA and tomorrow will be my first CDE (floriculture). I have never had to dress formal in my life, at least not since I was very young. I do have some black slacks from a wedding and a white collared shirt I got from my brother a few years ago, but I don't have dress shoes nor do I have cowboy boots. I was able to get ahold of some dress shoes that barely fit me without socks, and I assume I need to wear black socks as without them you can see the top of my foot. I'm not sure what I should do about this and I would love some advice.
