The FFA Emblem
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.
