The 2018 National Convention expects to accommodate over 67,000 attendees.

With mantras to live by like “I am capable but WE are unstoppable” and “I can, but together we will”; the FFA is an organization that not only encourages self reliance through teamwork, but also provides training and platforms from which members can build a strong foundation for successful lives.

“We are capable of shaping the future of agriculture, our homes, communities, and the United States of America – when we believe in the power of Just One!”, as stated on convention.ffa.org.
