Rogers’ jacket represented her role as a “Sweetheart,” or social ambassador, for her chapter of the Future Farmers of America (FFA). Future Farmers of America is a national school-based organization for students in grades 7 through 12. Founded in 1928, for decades women were not allowed to be members of the organization or wear the group’s signature blue jackets. While many young women participated in FFA activities, not quite equal, they wore white corduroy jackets, instead of the blue ones worn by members. In 1969, the FFA began admitting women as full-fledged members. When Louise Rogers was sporting her white jacket in the 1970s, she also had the option of the blue members jacket that many of her friends—both young men and young women—wore. In 2002, Karlene Lindow Krueger was the first woman to be named Star Farmer—the FFA's highest agricultural award.
