Each year, FFA chapters around the country celebrate National FFA Week. The week-long tradition began in 1947 when the National FFA Board of Directors designated the week of George Washington's birthday as National FFA Week in recognition of his legacy as an agriculturist and farmer. The first National FFA Week was held in 1948. Today, FFA Week always runs Saturday to Saturday and encompasses Feb. 22, Washington's birthday.

Visit local Tractor Supply Stores to purchase a paper FFA emblem to raise money for the Grants for Growing Program. 

Chapters can schedule virtual legislative tours of Annapolis and with legislators.
