What is beyond the jacket?

Beyond the Jacket shares inspiring conversations with FFA members, alumni, advisors, and agriculture leaders whose journeys prove that the blue jacket is just the beginning.

Every FFA member has a story.

Beyond the Jacket is a podcast dedicated to uncovering those stories.

From National Officers and State Officers to teachers, entrepreneurs, farmers, and industry leaders, we are exploring how FFA helped shape their careers, leadership, and passion for agriculture.

These aren’t just conversations about FFA-

they’re conversations about purpose, growth, and the future of agriculture.
