About the Missouri Agribusiness Academy
Agriculture has a tremendous impact on our nation’s economy, and Missouri is at the heart of this industry. It is important that young people carry on the tradition and heritage of those who have made this state the agricultural leader it is today and develop the skills necessary to continue that legacy in the future.
Since 1988, the Missouri Agribusiness Academy (MAbA) has awarded 1,060 academy memberships through a competitive application and interview process. To be eligible for the Missouri Agribusiness Academy, students must come from a farming family or be an active member of the National FFA Organization or 4-H. The 2024 MAbA class will tour agribusinesses, explore educational opportunities and meet with agricultural leaders in the Springfield area from June 3-7, 2024. The students will end their week in Jefferson City.
Congratulations to the Missouri Agribusiness Academy Class of 2024!
