Speaking Development Events are designed to develop the ability of all FFA members to express themselves on a given subject. Students are encouraged to develop their communication skills and learn to formulate their remarks for presentation in a variety of situations. The state finals of the speaking development events are held in conjunction with the Texas FFA Convention in July.

There are multiple categories that FFA members may compete in:

Extemporaneous Public Speaking      

Senior Prepared Public Speaking      

Junior Prepared Public Speaking      

Soil Stewardship Prepared Public Speaking
