State FFA Degrees
The Wisconsin State FFA Degree recognizes those individuals who have excelled in their FFA career and is the highest degree a state can bestow upon members. It follows the Greenhand and Chapter Degree and requires a vast amount of FFA participation including at least 360 hours of agricultural education, 25 hours of community service, participation in at least 5 FFA activities above the chapter level, and a minimum of $1500 or 100 hours to be productively invested in their SAE’s.
Earning an FFA Degree requires a great deal of dedication and commitment and since the first WI FFA Degree was earned in 1931, the FFA State Degree has been a true honor.
The State FFA Degree requires extreme dedication to a student’s SAE, and the application is extremely specific. Only certain community service events are considered acceptable to place on the application, and the expense statement sheet is verified by multiple judges.
Before Randolph and Cambria-Friesland FFA were combined the FFA degrees from 1940-1988 were as follows for each school.
