Is Future Farmers of America a subculture?

Answer 1

Not in the usual sense. Members of a subculture are generally identified by similarities in their criticism of mainstream values in an attempt to create their own identity. FFA members more typically try to aid the mainstream societal culture conform to their beliefs, a more positive viewpoint than is usually associated with the subcultural subversion to normalcy.

Just as a side note, they have been called the National FFA Organization since 1998, when they chose to drop the "Future Farmers" reference in recognition of the number of non-farming agricultural vocations available.
