The FFA Brand

“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.

FFA has the sole and exclusive right to use its proprietary marks.

As a trademark owner, the 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 the 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 of the above-mentioned items are responsible for adhering to these same requirements and standards for product purchases and must either be purchased directly from the National FFA Organization Shop FFA or an Official Licensee. Shop FFA is specifically charged with serving as the designated product supplier for the National FFA Organization, state FFA associations, and local FFA chapters and holds its vendors to a review process very similar to that of licensees.
