o Our Own Future Farmers,
Special, Proud Salute . . . .
We congratulate the Future Farmers of our area
and commend them for the vital role they play in
our farm community's progress. .What these young
men do today helps farming prosper . . . and the
future is even brighter, for the successful
farmer of tomorrow is the Future Farmer of
today. We can look ahead with confidence,
thanks to the aims, endeavors and strong
interest in farming of our local FFA members.
FFA CREED
I believe in the future of farming, with
a faith born not of words but ot aeeas
achievements won by the present and past
anpratinns of agriculturists; in the promise
of better days through better ways, even as
the better things we now en.ioy have come
to us from the struggles of former years.
t v,aiiQ,:o that tn livp and work on a good
farm, or to be engaged in other agricultural
pursuit, is pleasant as well as challenging
for I know the joys ana aisconuons ui aKn
cultural life and hold an 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 abil
i. tr, ;nrk pfficientlv and think clearly, with
such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and
in the ability of progressive agriculturists 10
serve our own and the public interest in pro
ducing and marketing the product of our toil.
I believe in less dependence on begging
and more power in bargaining; in the life
abundant and enough honest wealth to help
make it so for others as well as myself; in
less need for charity and more of it when
aort- fn hpinu haDDV myself and playing
square with those whose happiness depends
upon me.
I believe that rural America can and will
hold true to the best traditions of our national
life and that I can exert an influence in my
home and community which will stand solid
for my part in that inspiring task.
