Who conceived the idea of the NFA organization?

• A. Dr. H.O. Sargent
• B. Dr. James Wilson
• C. Mr. Henry Adams
• D. Ms. Linda Reed

Answer: (A)

The question is about who first conceived the New Farmers of America, the organization created to provide leadership and agricultural opportunities for Black students alongside FFA. The best answer is Dr. H.O. Sargent, because historical accounts and FFA history materials identify him as the founder or originator of the NFA. He is the person credited with envisioning and organizing the idea, which set the stage for the NFA’s activities and mission. The other names do not have the same historical connection to conceiving the NFA. The NFA later served as a parallel organization to FFA and eventually merged with it in the 1960s, reflecting its place in the broader development of agricultural education and student leadership.
