Question: How do I become an FFA member?

FFA is not a "club."  FFA is one of three components of an agricultural education program.  The local school district determines whether or not an agricultural education program, complete with an agriculture instructor, will be offered.  Students enrolled in a systematic course of instruction in agricultural education are eligible for membership.  The ages range from 12 -21 years of age as some states offer middle school membership and others also provide collegiate membership.  Enrolling in an agriculture course of study and paying the dues is all that is left to become an FFA member.

Question: How much does it cost?

The annual dues set by the National FFA Board of directors and the delegates is $5.00 per year.  The North Carolina FFA Association dues are also $5.00 per year, which comes to a total of $10.00 per year for membership dues.
