The overall design of the stamp depicts a typical farm scene with rolling hills in the background. Featured in the central foreground is a future farmer, standing beneath a tree, viewing the scene before him. The emblem of the Future Farmers of America is displayed on the back of the jacket which the youth is wearing. In the upper left corner, arranged in three lines, is the wording "U. S. Postage" and the denomination "3¢" in dark modified Roman. Across the bottom of the stamp, on a flowing ribbon, is the wording "1928 Future Farmers of America 1953" in dark Gothic.
