In which city was the FFA founded?

The FFA, or Future Farmers of America, was founded in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1928. The organization was established during a time when agriculture was a vital part of American society, particularly in rural areas, and there was a need for an organization that could foster leadership, personal growth, and career success among youth in agriculture. Kansas City was selected as the founding location due to its central location and relevance to the agricultural sector at that time.

St. Louis, while a significant city in Missouri, did not play a role in the founding of the FFA. Jefferson City is the state capital of Missouri and Springfield is a notable city, but neither is associated with the establishment of the organization. The creation of the FFA in Kansas City marks a pivotal moment in agricultural education, leading to the organization that we see today, promoting agricultural leadership and education among youth nationwide.
