The FFA Creed is when you memorize whats below:

I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds-achievements won by the 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 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 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 out 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 needed' in being happy myself and playing square with those whose happiness depends upon me.

I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our notional life and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for my part in that inspiring task.

The creed was written by E.M. Tiffany and adopted at the 3rd National FFA Convention, and revised at the 38th and 63rd National Convention.

There is a Creed Speaking CDE for freshman FFA members. The creed is the base to the FFA and enriches the lives of the members.

The creed was written to express the belief that all people involved in agriculture should believe. The first paragraph expresses a belief in the future of farming. That people should believe in actions not just others words. Paragraph two says that agricultural pursuits are can be enjoyable although at times a challenging and the third emphasizes the importance of leadership in the agricultural community. Paragraphs four and five express the desire for self-reliance and traditions being a foundation for American agriculturists. The FFA creed is very important to the FFA organization and its members. It was adopted at the 3rd National FFA Convention and revised at the 38th and 63rd.
