learning to live, living to serve.
Started in 1967, Madison Consolidated High School’s FFA chapter is rich in tradition, highly decorated in leadership and achievement, and has been a time-honored legacy for generations. The vision of FFA declares that students whose lives are impacted by FFA and agricultural education will achieve academic and personal growth, strengthen American agriculture, and provide leadership to build healthy local communities, a strong nation, and a sustainable world. This is achieved through their mission 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.

Do I have to be an agriculture student to join FFA?
A student has to be enrolled in one agriculture class to be a member of FFA.
Is FFA only for students who live on a farm?
No, FFA is a national student organization focusing on the vast number of elements of agriculture. There are 8 career pathways in agriculture: Agribusiness Systems, Animal Systems, Biotechnical Systems, Environmental Service Systems, Food Products and Processing Systems, Natural Resources Systems, Plant Systems, and Power, Structural and Technical Systems.
How will FFA enhance my overall student experience?
FFA offers a number of individual and team events to enhance your academic experience. FFA was founded on the principles of servant leadership and offers members opportunities to explore leadership at the local, state, and national levels.
What types of things will I learn through participation with FFA?
In addition to the agriculture education curriculum, you will have an opportunity to explore things like horticulture, forest management, soils, parliamentary procedure, public speaking, job interview preparation, community and civic involvement, and personal growth opportunities - really, about anything you can imagine!
