FFA Colors & Emblem
COLORS - As the blue field of our nation's flag and the golden fields
of ripened corn unify our country, the FFA colors of national blue and corn
gold give unity to the organization. All FFA functions and paraphernalia
should proudly display the colors.
EMBLEM - The cross section of the ear of corn provides the foundation
of the emblem, just as corn has historically served as the foundation crop
of American agriculture. It is also a symbol of unity, as corn is grown in
every state of the nation.
The rising sun signifies progress and holds a promise that tomorrow will
bring a new day glowing with opportunity.
The plow signifies labor and tillage of the soil, the backbone of
agriculture and the historic foundation of our country’s strength.
The eagle is a national symbol which serves as a reminder of our freedom and
ability to explore new horizons for the future of agriculture.
The owl, long recognized for its wisdom, symbolizes the knowledge required
to be successful in the industry of agriculture.
The words "Agricultural Education" and "FFA" are emblazoned in the center
to signify the combination of learning and leadership necessary for
progressive agriculture.
