Which organization served as the model for creating the FFA?

The Future Farmers of Virginia served as the model for creating the FFA because it was one of the pioneering organizations aimed at developing leadership and skills in young agricultural students. Founded in 1920, the Future Farmers of Virginia played a critical role in demonstrating the values of community service, agricultural education, and leadership development, which became foundational principles for the Future Farmers of America.

When the FFA was established in 1928, it adopted many of the successful techniques and structures used by the Future Farmers of Virginia, embracing a mission focused on promoting agricultural education and fostering a sense of community among students. This model helped shape the FFA into a national organization that would grow to influence countless young people in agriculture across the country.

The other options represent different agricultural or youth organizations that may have contributed to the agricultural landscape, but none had the direct influence on the founding concepts of the FFA as the Future Farmers of Virginia did.
