FFA ( formerly known as Future Farmers of America) is the premier youth organization preparing members for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture through agricultural education.
FFA develops members’ potential and helps them discover their talent through hands-on experiences, which give members the tools to achieve real-world success. Members are future farmers, chemists, veterinarians, government officials, entrepreneurs, bankers, international business leaders, teachers and premier professionals in many career fields.
With more than 1,027,273 FFA members in 9,235 chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the National FFA Organization has a strong presence as the largest student-led organization in the nation.

Silvies students met over 100 agricultural businesses at the Willamette Valley Ag Show on November 13, 2024! Students participated in a scavenger hunt to learn about various agricultural companies and career opportunities across the Willamette Valley. Everyone was amazed by how many different facets of agriculture were represented! Henry even competed at the welding competition hosted by Linn Benton Community College!
