What material is the Greenhand pin made of?

The Greenhand pin is made of bronze, which is a choice that reflects the significance of the pin within the FFA organization. Bronze symbolizes the progress and the foundational level of involvement for new members, representing their initial steps toward becoming knowledgeable and effective leaders in agriculture. The use of bronze also aligns with the values of durability and strength, as it signifies the commitment of Greenhands to their agricultural education and leadership development.

While the other materials mentioned, such as silver, gold, and copper, are often associated with various awards or levels of achievement within FFA, the Greenhand pin specifically being made of bronze emphasizes the entry-level status of the Greenhand and serves as a reminder of their beginner journey in the FFA community.
