Question: 1 / 155

In which state was the first national conference of the New Farmers of America (NFA) held?

Georgia

Texas

Alabama

The first national conference of the New Farmers of America (NFA) was held in Alabama. This choice is particularly significant because the NFA was founded in 1935 to provide agricultural education and leadership opportunities specifically for African American students in farming communities during a time of segregation. Holding the inaugural national conference in Alabama highlights the state's historical role in agricultural education and the advancement of African American farmers.

Other options, while they may also have significant agricultural histories, do not represent the location of this pivotal event in NFA's formation. The NFA eventually merged with the Future Farmers of America (FFA) in 1965, marking an important milestone in the journey of agricultural education in the United States.
