Reciting the FFA Creed has become almost a right of passage. Every new member in my agricultural classes learns the FFA Creed and what it represents. I still remember most of the Creed from when I memorized it as a young 14 old woman, in my agriculture class. We are very proud of Rylee Smith for her achievement. She will compete again this spring at the District level to vie for a place at State.
