The Luck FFA and Luck FFA Alumni chapters invite you to join us during National FFA Week to celebrate FFA and show your support of agricultural education and the future of agriculture. This week — and every week — we recognize the impact our members and supporters have on our chapters, communities and agriculture. By doing just one positive thing, each and every one of us can make a difference.
This year National FFA Week begins on February 16 and sends on February 23.
Did you know that? FFA Week always runs from Saturday to Saturday while encompassing George Washington’s birthday. The tradition of National FFA Week began in 1948 in recognition of Washington’s legacy as an agriculturist and farmer.
Here's what you can do to support the FFA during National FFA Week!
