Here are 12 lessons FFA taught my friends and I at Farm Journal that we still use every day.
12. Everything always works out how it’s supposed to.
11. There’s value in a good handshake and eye contact.
10. Be confident in your own abilities, and also those around you, to achieve your goals.
9. Find someone to look up to and listen to what they have to say.
8. Read the instructions and don’t forget to sign your name.
7. Find a career you’re not only good at, but passionate about, too.
6. You really can do just about anything you put your mind to.
5. It’s ok to shake in your boots a bit.
4. Influence isn’t about position, it’s about heart.
3. Keep trying new things until you find your “sweet spot.”
2. Failure stings, but it makes us better in the end.
1. To be the best, it takes top-tier effort. A little bit of preparation will yield good results, but a lot of preparation and study will always yield better results.

Agriculture is the backbone of our nation. And our world.
Ineffective ag = rumbling tummies.
FFA serves an incredibly important role in helping today's youth -- both from rural and urban settings -- realize the critical nature of all things ag. These youth are our future.
Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
