PRESENTATION OUTLINE

THE FFA CREED

By: Shelby Davis

I BELIEVE

in the future of agriculture,

with a faith

born not of words

but of deeds--

achievements won

by 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.

I BELIEVE

that to live and work on a good farm,

or to be engaged

in other agricultural pursuits,

is pleasant

as well as challenging;

for I know the joys

and discomforts of agricultural life

Photo by cseeman

and hold inborn fondness

for those associations which,

even in hours of discouragement,

I cannot deny.

I BELIEVE

in leadership

from ourselves

and respect from others.

I believe in my own ability

to work efficiently

and think clearly,

with such knowledge and skill

as I can secure,

and in the ability of progressive agriculturists

to serve our own

and the public interest in producing

and marketing the product of our toil.

I BELIEVE

in less independence in begging

and more power in bargaining;

Photo by Jim Nix / Nomadic Pursuits

in the life abundant and

enough honest wealth to help

make it so---for others

Photo by claires photos 2010

as well as myself;

in less need for charity

Photo by John Pozadzides

and more of it when needed;

Photo by Jordon

in being happy myself and

playing square with those

Photo by Utsav V

whose happiness depends upon me.

I BELIEVE

that American agriculture can

and will hold true to the best traditions

Photo by S.C. Asher

of our national life and

Photo by Al_HikesAZ

that I can exert an influence

Photo by wattpublishing

in my home and community

which will stand solid for

my part in that inspiring task.
