The Emblem
|
|
The national FFA emblem, consisting of five symbols, is
representative of the history, goals and future of the
organization. As a whole, the emblem covers the broad
spectrum of FFA and agriculture. Each element within the
emblem has unique significance
|
|
The cross section of the ear of corn provides the
foundation of the emblem, just as corn has historically
served as the foundation crop of American agriculture. It is
also a symbol of unity, as corn is grown in every state of
the nation.
|
The rising sun signifies progress and holds a promise
that tomorrow will bring a new day glowing with
opportunity.
|
|
The plow signifies labor and tillage of the soil, the
backbone of agriculture and the historic foundation of our
countries strength.
|
The eagle is a national symbol which serves as a
reminder of our freedom and ability to explore new horizons
for the future of agriculture.
|
|
The owl, long recognized for its wisdom, symbolizes
the knowledge required to be successful in the industry of
agriculture
|
The words "Agricultural Education" and "FFA" are
emblazoned in the center to signify the combination of
learning and leadership necessary for progressive
agriculture.
