According to the proclamation, FFA and agricultural education provide a strong foundation for the youth of America and the future of the food, fiber and natural resource systems. As their motto suggests — “learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live, living to serve” — FFA promotes leadership, personal growth and career success among its members. Agriculture education and FFA ensure a steady supply of young professionals to meet the growing demands in the science, business and technology of agriculture. Rob Larson – Daily Press
