FFA is a nationally affiliated student organization designed for students who wish to be leaders in and pursue a career in some phase of agriculture: production agriculture, agriscience, agribusiness, or agricultural marketing. FFA is an integral part of the student's experience in the agriculture education classroom. This organization, since 1928, provides the vital connection between classroom study and real world applications based directly on classroom instruction, leadership training, and career placement. FFA is an essential vehicle for helping students meet Oregon’s diploma requirements and this event is a showcase for the Essential Skills and Career-Related Learning Experiences that FFA students have gained over the past year. By following the FFA motto "learning to do, doing to learn, earning to live and living to serve" students are able to cross the bridge to a successful career in natural resources. Classroom based instruction, work based learning, and the student organization support the FFA delivery system. Students learn and develop technical skills and apply academic skills that range from formulating complicated feed rations for livestock to tissue culture of plant materials by taking advantage of classroom instruction based on applied learning units. The Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program offers students work based learning. FFA members, supervised by their FFA advisors, participate in projects selected from hundreds of options within project proficiency areas. This project is carefully monitored throughout the student’s FFA career as he or she applies the skills learned in the classroom. FFA activities provide the third support in the agricultural education bridge. The FFA provides an enjoyable educational opportunity for students to evaluate their technical and leadership skills as they step across the bridge to their future. FFA, chartered in Oregon in 1929, is one of seven Career and Technical Student Leadership Organizations in Oregon leading the way for greater student achievement. As a FFA member, advisor, alumni, school administrator, or parent you play a vital role in the future of Oregon youth through your participation in the Oregon FFA.

THE FFA CREED The creed was written by E. M. Tiffany,
and adopted at the 3rd National Convention of the FFA. It was revised at the 38th Convention and the 63rd Convention.
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 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 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 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.
OREGON FFA FOUNDATION PARTNERS The FFA is privileged to develop relationships with individuals, businesses and
other agriculturally related organizations that believe in what this organization does to prepare youth for leadership and agriculture careers.
