Texas Ffa Association

What Texas Ffa Association does

Texas FFA Association is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit youth organization established in 1929 as the Texas state chapter of the National FFA Organization, headquartered at 614 East 12th Street in Austin, Texas. It delivers agricultural education programming to more than 150,000 student members in grades 7-12 across nearly 1,200 chapters at public, charter, and accredited private schools in Texas, organized into 12 geographic Areas. The organization's core product portfolio combines three integrated components: classroom agricultural education aligned with the Texas Education Agency's State Plan for Career and Technical Education; FFA leadership activities including Career Development Events (CDE), Leadership Development Events (LDE), Speaking Development Events (SDE), Agriscience Fair, and elected officer pathways at chapter, area, state, and national levels; and the Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE), a mandatory year-long work-based learning experience tracked through the third-party Agricultural Experience Tracker (AET) platform at theaet.com.

Texas FFA's underlying technology stack is intentionally lean: AET serves as the system of record for student SAE projects, degree applications, and award submissions, with application intake handled via Google Forms and Cognito Forms, and content distribution via a website, monthly email newsletter, social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube), and podcast channels (FFA Unraveled, Growing Our Future, Ag Teacher Talk) on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and Amazon Music. No proprietary AI/ML systems, developer-facing APIs, or mobile applications are disclosed.

The organization is funded through a diversified mix of membership dues, corporate sponsorships (Texas Ford Dealers, Tractor Supply, Kubota, ExxonMobil, Texas Farm Bureau, SALE, Wyndham Hotels, Texas Tech University), and endowment income managed by the affiliated Texas FFA Foundation, which distributes approximately $2.4 million annually in academic and award scholarships including more than 140 named scholarships to outstanding graduating seniors. The annual State Convention (96th edition held in Houston in 2026) serves as the flagship in-person event for degree conferral, competition finals, and scholarship presentation. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
