Ryan Covacks, FFA Teacher
The FFA program at Southside High school covers the New Farmers of America during the Black History Month of February. The New Farmers of America (NFA) was an American youth organization of African-American farm boys studying agriculture in public schools throughout 18 states in the eastern and southern United states. The NFA started in 1927 in the state of Virginia, and merged in 1965 with the Future Farmers of America organization. Until 1935, all NFA associations were known only by the name of each respective state. In August 1935, representatives from all New Farmer state associations met in Tuskegee and formed the National Organization of New Farmers of America with a tentative constitution and by-laws.
