:Substate Competitions: New York FFA is divided into three regions (Eastern, Central, and Western) for LDE competitions.
LDEs: These are Career and Leadership Development Events, where students test their knowledge and skills in various agricultural areas.
State Convention: The winners of the substate competitions advance to the New York State FFA Convention, where they compete against other regional winners.
National FFA Convention: Many of the LDEs at the State Convention serve as qualifiers for the National FFA Convention.
