Premier Leadership.
Personal Growth.
Career Success.
"Future Farmers of America" – today known as the National FFA Organization – was founded by a group of young farmers in 1928. Their mission was to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. They taught us that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting – it's a science, it's a business and it's an art.
Today, more than 735,038 student members aged 12-21 in more than 8,817 chapters nationwide are engaged in a wide range of agricultural education activities. Students join FFA to explore a variety of careers in the food, fiber and natural resources industry. They are the next generation of leaders.

Can I use the FFA marks for local chapter purposes?
If you are creating items specifically for the use of a local FFA chapter, you do not need to become an official licensee. Please have each local chapter advisor you work with fill out this Transfer License Request form to grant access.
Per National FFA Board of Directors policy, FFA chapters may create and order items bearing the FFA Name and Marks. The policy permits FFA chapters to directly sell items bearing the FFA Name and Marks if they are in compliance with policies established by the board and the sales are limited to an individual chapter's local service area. The items may only be sold for the sole purpose of raising funds to support local, state or national FFA programs with specific conditions. Chapters cannot authorize resale of goods that bear the FFA Name and Marks by other entities, dealers or wholesalers.
Can I sell items with the FFA Name and Marks online?
To protect the name and values of the National FFA Organization as well as the many reputable companies already entered into agreements with us, only companies that can exhibit a commitment to the FFA brand, have established production and distribution capabilities, and/or offer a new or unique product will be granted the opportunity to obtain a FFA licensing agreement. This is the only method available to become an authorized, licensed seller of items with the FFA Name and Marks in a commercial fashion. The application process typically takes 30-45 days to complete and requires a license fee.
Please contact licensing@ffa.org to start this process.

Why does National FFA have to protect the FFA Brand?
FFA has the sole and exclusive right to use its proprietary marks, but a failure to regulate the use of these marks by third parties may result in their passing into the public domain and out of FFA control. The protection and enforcement of FFA trademarks and the FFA brand requires centralization to know which uses of the marks and brand are infringements, and which have been properly authorized and are consistent with the values, purposes and Charter and Bylaws of the National FFA Organization.
As a trademark owner, National FFA Organization is obligated to protect against unauthorized or potentially confusing uses of its trademarks and therefore carefully manages their commercial use. No one can use the FFA marks for a commercial purpose without the express written permission of National FFA Organization.
A local chapter may not use the FFA marks for commercial purposes; nor may a chapter, state association, state foundation, National FFA Foundation, member, or alumni chapter grant such rights, either actual or implied, to any third party. All above mentioned are responsible to adhering to these same requirements and standards for product purchases and must either purchase direct from the National FFA Organization Merchandise Center or an Official Licensee. The Merchandise Center, which is specifically charged with serving as the designated product supplier for the National FFA Organization, FFA State Associations and FFA Local Chapters, holds its vendors to a review process very similar to that of licensees.
