Empowering Tomorrow's Agriculturalists

A Journey Through Our Foundation's Impact

Our foundation has evolved through dedication, commitment, and a clear vision for agricultural education. Since our inception, we’ve worked tirelessly to provide resources and support for students and educators. Every initiative we’ve launched has been aimed at creating opportunities that empower young minds, fostering their growth and development in the realm of agriculture.

Through collaborative efforts, we have marked numerous milestones in enhancing our educational programs, advocating for youth engagement, and securing essential funding to support our mission. Each step reflects our unwavering belief in the potential of students to lead and innovate in the field of agriculture.

Foundation Established

The Oklahoma FFA Foundation began in 1985 with a $20,000 gift from Don Ramsey, an agricultural educator and founder of Blue and Gold Sausage Co. His generosity established a foundation for dependable support of Oklahoma FFA members and agricultural education.

Growing Generosity

In 2025, the Foundation raised more than $1.6 million to support scholarships, awards, leadership activities, and programs such as the Blue Jacket Program.
