Who was the first National NFA President from Texas?

• A. Lawrence Price
• B. Dudley DeRouen
• C. Oliver Hunter
• D. Cecil Strickland

Answer: (A)

Lawrence Price from Texas became the first person from that state to hold the national NFA presidency. This milestone shows how leadership at the national level began to reflect a broader geographic reach as the New Farmers of America grew, especially across Texas and other Southern states. His tenure stands out because no previous national president had originated from Texas, marking a notable point in the organization’s history.

The other individuals listed were part of NFA circles or agricultural leadership, but they did not achieve this specific distinction of being the first national president from Texas. If you’d like, I can share a brief overview of each person’s role and contributions to place this milestone in a broader context.
