What is the first degree an FFA member earns?

The first degree that an FFA member earns is the Discovery degree. This degree is designed for middle school students who have just begun their journey in agriculture education and FFA participation. It recognizes their initial involvement and encourages their growth in the field.

Achieving the Discovery degree involves completing specific requirements, such as participation in FFA activities and gaining some basic understanding of agricultural concepts. This degree serves as a foundation, emphasizing the importance of agriculture, leadership, and service within the organization.

Other options may refer to different degrees within FFA that are attained at later stages or in different contexts, but the Discovery degree specifically targets new members at the entry level, making it an essential start to their FFA journey.
