The FFA Emblem |
|
Each Part of the Emblem has its Own Meaning The Cross Section of an Ear of Corn serves as the emblem's foundation, just as corn has historically served as a foundation crop in American Agriculture. Corn is also a symbol of unity because it is native to America and grown in every state. The Rising Sun appears in the center of the emblem and symbolizes progress in agriculture and the confidence that FFA Members have in the future. The Plow is the symbol of labor and tillage of the soil, the backbone of agriculture and the historic foundation of our country's strength. The Owl represents knowledge and wisdom that is necessary to be successful in the agricultural industry. The Eagle is perched on top of the emblem and serves as a reminder of our freedom and ability to explore new horizons for the future of agriculture. The words "Agricultural Education" surrounding the letters "FFA" indicate that FFA is an important part of the agricultural education program. |
