What does the “Greenhand” degree signify?

The "Greenhand" degree signifies the initial level of recognition awarded to members of the FFA (Future Farmers of America) for their involvement and commitment to the organization. It is designed for students who are just starting their journey in agricultural education and FFA, marking their entry into the world of agriculture and leadership within the organization. Earning this degree acknowledges a member's efforts to learn and participate, laying the foundation for future degrees and levels of involvement in FFA.

This degree serves as an important milestone for new members, allowing them to build confidence and gain knowledge in various aspects of agriculture, leadership, and community service. As members progress in their agricultural education and contributions to FFA, they can achieve further degrees, such as the Chapter and State degrees.
