Greenhand Day

The Greenhand Degree is the first degree that you can earn in the high school FFA program. To be a Greenhand you must have recited the National FFA Creed and you must be able to describe and explain the meaning of the FFA emblem and colors. Emily completed her Greenhand degree and celebrated with her classmates by wearing “Greenhand” shirts to school.

Future Farmers of America changed to just FFA in 1989 to reflect the growing diversity of agriculture today. There are over 300 career opportunities in agriculture today.

Emily is doing so well in FFA and really loves it. I am so glad we moved to a school with a strong FFA program. It will really help her with her desire to become a vet.
