The National FFA Farm Business Management Career Development Event is designed to test the ability of students to apply economic principles and concepts in analyzing farm and ranch business management decisions. Each team in the event has competed with other chapters in their state for the privilege of participating in the national event.
The event is one of many educational activities at the National FFA Convention in which FFA members practice the lessons learned in agricultural education classes. The event was held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Indianapolis, Ind.
The Farm Business Management event is sponsored by John Deere of Moline, Illinois as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.
The National FFA Organization, formerly known as the Future Farmers of America, is a national youth organization of 507,763 student members - all preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture - as part of 7,439 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The National FFA Organization changed to its present name in 1988, in recognition of the growth and diversity of agriculture and agricultural education. The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
