When was the first FFA Week celebrated?

The first FFA Week was celebrated in 1948 to coincide with George Washington's birthday, honoring his contributions to agriculture and the importance of farming in America. This week-long celebration is meant to educate the public about agriculture and promote the FFA organization's role in developing leadership, personal growth, and career success among students. Since its inception, FFA Week has become an annual event that brings together FFA chapters and the communities they serve, showcasing the accomplishments of members and emphasizing the significance of agriculture as a vital component of the economy and society.
