Which term is the highest degree awarded by a state association?

• A. State degree
• B. Honorary degree
• C. Greenhand degree
• D. Chapter degree

Answer: (A)

In FFA-style progression, degrees show growing involvement and achievement, with the state-level top honor given to those who meet demanding requirements over several years. The highest degree awarded by a state association is the State degree, earned by members who demonstrate sustained leadership, active participation in FFA activities, and meeting specific criteria set by the state. Greenhand is the first-level recognition for new members, and Chapter degree comes after meeting chapter-level requirements. An Honorary degree isn’t the standard progression for active members. So the State degree stands as the peak state-level recognition.
