THE FFA CREEDI believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deedsachievementswon by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise ofbetter days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to usfrom struggles of former years.I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be engaged in other agriculturalpursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts ofagriculture life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours ofdiscouragement, I cannot deny.I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others, I believe in my own abilityto work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and inthe ability of progressive agriculturists to serve our own and the public interest inproducing and marketing the product of our toil.I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundantand enough honest wealth to help make it so - for others as well as myself; in less need forcharity and more of it when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with thosewhose happiness depends upon me.I believe that American Agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of ournational life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will standsolid for my part in that inspiring task.(The Creed was Written by E. M. Tiffany, and adopted at the 3 rd National Convention ofthe FFA. It was revised at the 38 th Convention and the 63 rd Convention.)31
