To its owner, the FFA jacket is a physical reminder of the personal accomplishments achieved through the organization – a symbol of commitment and dedication for all who wear the corduroy. This fall, a record number 450 South Dakota FFA members from 84 chapters, will receive their own FFA jackets – carrying forward that long-standing tradition of pride, dignity and honor. Jackets were sponsored by various individuals through the SD FFA Foundation program, welcoming new members into the fabric of FFA. FFA members filled out the Blue Jackets Bright Futures FFA Jacket Program application, answering short essay questions about their FFA experience and goals, competing to earn their own FFA jacket instead of purchasing one. 2023 recipients are:

“Receiving a jacket through the Blue Jackets Bright Futures program showed me that people believe in me, and they believe in FFA. Realizing that fact made me want to leave an impact on FFA members and show anyone and everyone that they can, and they will make an impact in FFA and the world if they push hard enough and wear their jacket to their fullest. Each time I look at my jacket, I remember those memories and realize how blessed each and every FFA member is to have the opportunity to experience premier leadership, personal growth, and career success through agricultural education with the help of the generous sponsors,” shares Gretta Larson, South Dakota State FFA Treasurer, from Lake Preston, SD.
When students join the FFA, they typically purchase or borrow jackets to compete in the many Career Development Events offered through FFA. The jacket is their team “uniform” to be worn at all official FFA events. The blue corduroy FFA jacket has been the status symbol of the national FFA organization since 1933, when delegates to the national convention voted to make the jacket part of the organization’s official attire, thus creating the long-standing tradition.
Individuals and businesses interested in sponsoring an FFA jacket for a SD FFA member should contact Gerri Ann Eide, SD FFA Foundation Executive Director at 605-765-4865 or gerri@sdffafoundation.org. Sponsorships are $90 per jacket.
The SD FFA Foundation is proud to support Agricultural Education and the FFA’s mission to make a difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education.
