When did NFA and FFA merge?

• A. 1965
• B. 1958
• C. 1972
• D. 1946

Answer: (A)

Two groups representing agricultural students—the Future Farmers of America and the New Farmers of America—joined together in 1965 to form a single, national organization. This was a significant step toward inclusivity, ending the separation along racial lines and uniting all members of agricultural education under one umbrella. After the merger, the organization later adopted the broader name National FFA Organization to reflect its wider membership and mission.
