What is the highest degree that can be awarded to an FFA member at the state level in Missouri?

The highest degree that can be awarded to an FFA member at the state level in Missouri is the State FFA Degree. This distinction is given to members who have demonstrated a high level of commitment, achievement, and leadership within the organization at the state level.

To earn the State FFA Degree, students must meet specific qualifications, including a certain amount of hours invested in their Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE), completion of FFA leadership and community service activities, and a commitment to the mission and goals of the FFA. This reflects not only their involvement in FFA but also their knowledge and experience in agricultural practices, leadership skills, and community engagement.

In contrast, other degrees such as the National FFA Degree are awarded at a national level, the Chapter FFA Degree is specific to a local chapter, and the Local FFA Degree (often referred to as membership or introductory levels) is awarded to students as they begin their journey in FFA. Therefore, the State FFA Degree represents the pinnacle of achievement recognized by the Missouri FFA Association at the state level.
