In what year did the New Farmers of America (NFA) merge with FFA?

The New Farmers of America (NFA) merged with the Future Farmers of America (FFA) in 1965, representing a significant moment in agricultural education history. This merger allowed for the integration of programs serving African American students within FFA, promoting inclusivity and diversity in agricultural leadership.
