In what year did the FFA move out of the TEA agency?

The Future Farmers of America (FFA) officially moved out of the Texas Education Agency (TEA) in 1998. This transition marked a significant moment in the organization’s history, as it allowed FFA to operate with greater autonomy and focus more on its mission of empowering youth through agricultural education and leadership development. The decision to separate from the TEA was part of a strategic effort to enhance the FFA's ability to innovate and grow, responding to the evolving needs of its members and the agricultural community at large. The move also helped clarify the roles and responsibilities of FFA at the state and national levels, ensuring a more direct connection between the organization and its members.
