FFA EMBLEM

What does the FFA emblem stand for?

• 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 country’s 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.
