Future Farmers of America incentives

This is a study of Future Farmer of America (FFA) incentives in the East Tennessee District of Vocational Agriculture. The purpose of the study embodied two elements which may be specifically stated as follows: (1) To determine ways contests and awards affected FFA members, teachers and others, (2) To determine the extent of FFA members affected and the extent advisors and others were affected by contests and awards. This study did not answer the question, "what should the incentives be?" It merely helped identify a few of the results of incentives as observed by the persons supplying the information. The results may, however, be helpful in redesigning parts of the FFA to serve better the school, members and awards.
