Please note: The 2011 FFA Paper Emblem Campaign ended on March 31, 2011.

Southern States is a supporter of FFA and is proud to be the sponsor of the “I’m Supporting FFA” fundraiser said Thomas R. Scribner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Southern States. “We know every dollar collected will benefit FFA members across the area.  Southern States has a rich heritage of working with FFA and hopes the public will assist with the project by supporting the effort and contributing a dollar for a personalized paper FFA emblem.”

After you buy an emblem, you can sign your name on it or even the name of a child you care about.  The emblems will then be displayed in the store for all to see.  Proceeds are split between the local FFA chapter, the state FFA association and the National FFA Foundation.

To buy a paper emblem, visit a participating Southern States Cooperative near you.

The National FFA Organization, formerly known as the Future Farmers of America, is a national youth organization of 523,309 student members – all preparing for leadership and careers in the science, business and technology of agriculture – as part of 7,487 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.  The National FFA Organization operates under a Federal Charter granted by the 81st Congress of the United States and is an integral part of public instruction in agriculture.  The U. S. Department of Education provides leadership and helps set direction for FFA as a service to state and local agricultural education programs.  Visit www.ffa.org for more information.
