The extemporaneous public speaking event develops FFA members’ abilities to express themselves on a given agriculture-related topic without prior preparation or rehearsal. Participants formulate and present their remarks in a limited time, showcasing their spontaneous speaking skills. Judges evaluate speaking, presentation, content, and ability to answer questions about the speech’s topic. This event is held in conjunction with the National FFA Convention & Expo, providing a platform for members to demonstrate their public speaking abilities.
