Texas FFA Leadership Development Events (LDEs): The Essentials
Leadership Development Events are Texas FFA's fall contests in public speaking, parliamentary procedure, agricultural knowledge, broadcasting, public relations and job-seeking skills. They run tournament style: every event has elimination rounds at the district and area levels before the state contest, and under Texas FFA General Rule 9 each area sends two teams in each event to state.
The events
The 2022-2026 rules list 13 events: Agricultural Advocacy, Agricultural Issues Forum, Agricultural Skill Demonstration, Senior and Greenhand FFA Quiz, Chapter Conducting, Greenhand and Senior Creed Speaking, Greenhand and Senior Spanish Creed Speaking, FFA Broadcasting, Public Relations and Job Interview. Greenhand events are for first-year members.
What to wear
Competitors wear official FFA dress under the Texas FFA Official Dress Standards, which allow black dress boots. The FFA bowtie is not acceptable, and Agricultural Skill Demonstration teams are exempt.
The state contest
The 2026 Texas FFA State LDEs are scheduled for December 4-5, 2026, at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville.
