President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education.

The National FFA Organization recently released the following statement:

We know that this may cause some concern with our stakeholders, so we shared a message of reassurance with our stakeholders earlier today in our FFA weekly email.

“With President Donald Trump’s recent signing of the executive order to dismantle the Department of Education, we understand that this is an uncertain time for many of our members and stakeholders, but we want to assure you that the National FFA Organization remains steadfast in its commitment to agricultural education and leadership development. We will continue to advocate for the necessary resources and support to ensure our programs thrive.

Additionally, we are actively monitoring any developments and working with our partners in Congress with a primary focus on maintaining the integrity of FFA programs and preserving opportunities for students to grow and succeed.

We encourage our members, advisors, and supporters to stay informed and engage with us as we move forward together. Communication and collaboration will be key in navigating these changes, and we are confident that the FFA community will continue to play a vital role in shaping the future of agricultural education.”

Scott Stump the new Chief Executive Officer of both organizations, will join RFD-TV Monday at 9:00 AM Eastern for comments.
