Why is the state degree FFA pin missing the eagle on top of it? The answer to that question and many other unusual questions about the FFA was covered in a presentation to the AEE 303 class earlier this week at North Carolina State University. This class prepares future agriculture teachers to be FFA advisors. I enjoyed interacting with them and sharing some of my FFA memorabilia. So what is the answer to my question? Between 1928 and 1938 the only FFA degree pin that featured the complete FFA emblem with the eagle on top was the American Farmer degree because it was a national degree. The other degree pins were local or state and did not feature the eagle. So if you find a FFA pin without an eagle, it is a pre-1938 pin.
