FFA Motto: Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve
“Future Farmers of America” was founded by a group of young farmers in 1928. Their mission was to prepare future generations for the challenges of feeding a growing population. They taught us that agriculture is more than planting and harvesting – it’s a science, it’s a business and it’s an art.
-National FFA Spokesman
