Whereas, the FFA and agricultural education provide a strong foundation for the youth of America and the future of food, fiber, and natural resource systems; and
Whereas, agricultural education and FFA ensure a steady supply of young professionals to meet the growing needs in the science, business, and technology of agriculture; and
Whereas, the FFA motto – ‘Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve’ – gives direction and purpose to those students who take an active role in succeeding in agricultural education; and
Whereas, FFA promotes premier leadership, personal growth, career success, citizenship, volunteerism, patriotism, and cooperation; and
