paragraph of the creed
• Using the student handbook (p.30) lets read the
first paragraph of 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.
