The Colorado State Legislature has introduced Senate Joint Resolution 25-012, designating March 17, 2025, as Colorado FFA Day. This resolution aims to honor the contributions of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) organization, which has been pivotal in promoting agricultural education since its inception in 1928.

The resolution highlights the FFA's commitment to fostering leadership, personal growth, and career success among students through agricultural education. It acknowledges the evolution of the organization, which was renamed the National FFA Organization in 1988 to reflect its broader focus beyond traditional farming, encompassing various aspects of agriculture and agribusiness.

The resolution has garnered bipartisan support, with numerous sponsors from both the Senate and House, indicating a collective recognition of the importance of agricultural education in Colorado. The designation of a specific day to celebrate FFA aims to raise awareness about the organization’s role in shaping future leaders in agriculture and related fields.

While the resolution is largely ceremonial, it underscores the significance of agricultural education in the state and its impact on students' futures. By establishing Colorado FFA Day, the legislature seeks to promote the values of leadership and community service that the FFA embodies.

As the resolution moves toward final readings in both chambers, it reflects a growing acknowledgment of the agricultural sector's importance to Colorado's economy and culture. The passage of this resolution is expected to enhance community engagement and support for agricultural education initiatives across the state.
