The FFA Creed underscores the organization’s beliefs about agriculture, FFA membership, and the value of citizenship and patriotism. The Creed speaking event enhances public speaking skills, builds self-confidence, and advances FFA members in the degree program. This event is exclusively for seventh, eighth, or ninth grade members. Members are evaluated on their ability to memorize and recite the FFA Creed. They also answer questions related to it and basic agriculture.
