EMBLEM
Many organizations have logos they use as part of their identity. As with most logos, the FFA emblem is symbolic. It contains five seperate elements, each of which represents items or ideals which are important to the organization and its members.

The cross section of an ear of corn serves as the emblem's foundation just as corn has historically served as a foundationcrop in American agriculture. Corn is also a symbol of unity because it is native to America and is grown in every state.
The rising sun appears in the center of the emblem and symbolizes progress in agriculture and confidence FFA membershave in the future.
The plow is the symbol of labor and tillage of the soil.
The owl represents knowledge and wisdom.
The eagle is perched on top of the emblem and serves as a reminder of our freedom and ability to explore new horizons for the future of agriculture.

Finally the words, "Agricultural Education" surrounding the letters,"FFA" indicate that FFA is an important part of the agricultural education program.

OFFICIAL COLORS

CREED

I believe in the future of agriculture with a faith born not of words but of deeds-achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things that we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years.

I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those association which, even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny.

I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ability of progressive agriculturists to serve our own and the public interest in producing and marketing the product of our toil.

I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make this so- for others as well as my self; in less need of charity and more of it when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me.

I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.
