In which state did the FFA begin?

Ohio
Virginia
Texas
California

The correct answer is: Virginia

The Future Farmers of America (FFA), now known simply as the National FFA Organization, began in Virginia. In 1920, a group of agriculture students at Virginia Tech, led by Henry Grosclose, initiated the formation of a national organization for students studying agriculture. The first national convention took place in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1928, but the roots of FFA can be traced back to the local chapters in Virginia. This historical context is significant in understanding the organization's beginnings and its connection to agricultural education in the United States. While Ohio is known for being a significant state for FFA in terms of membership and events, it is Virginia where FFA originated.
