The FFA Creed
I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of
deeds - achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists;
in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we
now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years.
I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be engaged in other
agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys
and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those
associations which, even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny.
I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in
my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and
skill as I can secure, and in the ability of progressive agriculturists to serve
our own and the public interest in producing and marketing the product of our
toil.
I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the
life abundant and enough honest wealth to help make it so--for others as well as
myself; in less need for charity and more of it when needed; in being happy
myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me.
I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best
traditions of our national life and that I can exert an influence in my home and
community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.
The creed was written by E. M. Tiffany, and adopted at the 3rd National
Convention of the FFA. It was revised at the 38th Convention and the 63rd
Convention.
