What do state officers display on the back of their FFA jackets?

State officers display the state emblem and lettering on the back of their FFA jackets to signify their specific role and affiliation within the organization. This design element is distinct from the national emblem and signifies the importance of state-level leadership in the development of agricultural education and youth leadership within that state.

The inclusion of the state emblem creates a sense of pride and recognition for their achievements and responsibilities at the state level. It also visually communicates their connection to the local agricultural community, reinforcing the idea that FFA is not only a national organization but also one that is supportive and engaged with the needs and goals of each individual state. This practice enhances unity and helps foster a sense of belonging among members from the same state.
