The Wisconsin FFA Foundation is advancing its initiative to create a specialty license plate that will honor agriculture and support FFA programs across the state. This campaign, which began with the backing of the Elkhorn FFA Alumni & Supporters, has now entered the design phase after successfully gathering 500 signatures from supporters statewide.

Design Contest Open to All

As part of this phase, the Foundation is hosting a design contest open to the public. Participants are encouraged to submit their designs by July 1, 2026. The contest provides an opportunity for individuals to contribute creatively to a project that supports the future of agriculture in Wisconsin. Design submissions must adhere to specific guidelines set by the DMV, ensuring that all necessary text areas and the official Wisconsin logo type are correctly used. Detailed requirements can be found on the Wisconsin FFA Foundation’s website.

Once the winning design is selected, it will be refined in collaboration with the Foundation and prepared for production. The specialty license plate will cost $125, which includes vehicle registration and issuance fees. Importantly, $25 from each plate sold will be donated annually to the Wisconsin FFA Foundation, directly supporting FFA programs and members throughout the state.

Long-Term Support for FFA

The Wisconsin FFA Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, aims to unite individuals, organizations, and companies with a shared interest in advancing agriculture and community leadership through FFA. The specialty license plate is seen as a long-term method for supporters to express their pride in Wisconsin’s agricultural heritage while contributing to the development of future leaders in the field.
