What do you see when you look at the FFA emblem? Do you see
anything? I see the future of agriculture, the past, present, and future, all in
one place. Each symbol is equally important and they all serve a purpose. The most
recognizable symbol for the FFA Organization is the FFA emblem. It was created
as a symbol of vocational agriculture two years before the organization was
formed. The emblem contains five symbols that stand for the history, beliefs,
goals, and future of the organization. So can you name all five symbols on the
emblem?
Cross section of corn:
The “circle” that houses all of
the symbols is actually a cross section of corn. The corn symbolizes unity because
corn is grown in every state in the nation.
Rising sun:
The rising sun symbolizes progress
and opportunity, it is located behind the owl in the center of the emblem.
Plow:
The plow is the symbol of labor
and tillage of the soil without labor neither knowledge nor wisdom can
accomplish much. The plow symbolizes the foundation of our country’s strength.
The plow is located in the center of the emblem.
Eagle:
The eagle symbolizes freedom and ability
to explore new horizons for the future of agriculture. The eagle is at the top
of the emblem.
Owl:
The owl is the symbol of knowledge
and wisdom that is required to be successful in agriculture. The owl is sitting
on top of the plow.
