National FFA Week Starts Saturday

National FFA Week kicked off Saturday. The week runs February 20th to the 27th as 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. The designation was made in recognition of Washington’s 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 February 22nd, Washington's birthday. Follow the National FFA Week conversation on Twitter by using hashtag #FFAweek.
