In what year did FFA change The National Future Farmer magazine to FFA New Horizons?

The National Future Farmer magazine was renamed to FFA New Horizons in 1989. This change was part of an effort to modernize the magazine's image and content to better reflect the evolving focus of the organization and its members. The new name, FFA New Horizons, signifies a forward-looking perspective that emphasizes the growth and opportunities available to FFA members in agricultural education and career exploration. The change aligns with broader trends of the time, as the FFA sought to attract a more diverse membership and engage youth in a variety of agricultural and leadership topics. This strategic decision was instrumental in shaping how FFA communicates with its members and the public, emphasizing not only agricultural skills but also personal development and career readiness.
