Eight Annual Agricultural Education and
Texas FFA Day at the Texas State Capitol
Austin, Texas — For two day the Texas State Capitol will become a classroom as
more than 800 Texas FFA members and agricultural educators visit Austin on Feb.
21st and 23’. Students will learn about the state’s legislation process, especially as
it relates to agriculture, at the eighth annual Agricultural Education and Texas FFA
Day at the Capitol, co-hosted by the Vocational Agriculture Teachers Association
of Texas and the Texas FFA Association.
Since 2010, Texas FFA members have gathered in Austin to celebrate the organi-
zation and advocate for the continued support of agricultural education. Through-
out the day members will meet with their state legislators, walk the Capitol hall-
ways, and see where history has been made since 1889.
The event will provide a unique opportunity for high school students to learn from
various players in the state’s legislative process. Members and guest will enjoy
keynote speeches from Representative DeWayne Burns and Representative Trent
Ashby.
“Texas FFA Day at the Capitol provides the opportunity for our state leaders to see
the true impact agricultural education and the FFA has on our state,” said 2016-
2017 Texas FFA President, Jake Traylor. “The experience also allows our mem-
bers the opportunity to witness the legislative process, and how they can affect
change in their own communities.”
The Texas FFA Association is an agricultural youth leadership organization that
has operated as an integral part of the state’s agricultural education curriculum
since 1929. The organization is the nation’s largest state FFA association with a
membership of more than 118,000 members in high school and middle school
