For the last decade, the Delaware Farm Bureau (DEFB) has proudly sponsored the Blue Jacket Bonanza program for Delaware FFA. This initiative provides deserving FFA members with the iconic blue jacket, personalized with their name and chapter.

Maria Gutierrez-Carcamo of the Sussex Central FFA Chapter shared her experience receiving her jacket last year through the Blue Jacket Bonanza. “The FFA blue jacket is more than just an article of clothing, it resembles the accomplishments, kindness, service, and faith of every FFA member, along with the overall unity of this organization.”

She further explained that wearing the blue jacket symbolizes an individual’s official entry into FFA. Having their name embroidered on it fosters a sense of belonging and solidifies their place in the organization’s ongoing mission to build a brighter future.

The FFA blue jacket has been an integral part of the organization’s official dress since 1933, serving as a symbol of professional growth, career success, and agricultural advocacy.

DEFB recognizes the invaluable skills FFA instills in its members and is committed to ensuring more students have the opportunity to wear the blue jacket with pride. Many Farm Bureau members were once involved in FFA and recognize the strong connections between the two organizations.

At the Delaware FFA Convention, DEFB Young Farmers and Ranchers (YF&R) Chair Will Powers encouraged members to continue pursuing agriculture. He highlighted that YF&R serves as a platform for individuals aged 18–40 to develop their professional, agricultural, and leadership skills.
