The National FFA Emblem consist of five symbols that represent the history, goals, and future of
the organization:
-
The cross-section of an ear of corn provides the foundation of the emblem, just as corn served as
the foundation crop of American agriculture. It is a symbol of unity because corn is grown in every
state of the union.
- The plow signifies labor and tillage of the soil, which is the backbone of agriculture and the
foundation of our nation's strength.
- The rising sun is a symbol of progress and holds a promise that tomorrow will bring a new day
glowing with opportunities.
- The owl is recognized for its wisdom and symbolizes the knowledge necessary to be successful in
agriculture.
- The eagle is a national symbol that serves as a reminder of our freedom and ability to explore new
horizons for the future of agriculture.
The words Agricultural Education and "FFA" are in the center to signify the combination of
learning and leadership necessary for progressive agriculturists.
