Name two components of the FFA emblem's symbolism.

• A. Eagle and shield
• B. Wheat and lamp
• C. Rising sun (progress) and plow (labor)
• D. Gavel and bell

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that the FFA emblem uses symbols to express values about growth and effort in agriculture. The two components that best capture this are the rising sun and the plow. The rising sun represents progress and the opportunities a new day brings for learning, innovation, and moving agriculture forward. The plow stands for labor—the hard work and practical effort that form the foundation of farming and agricultural education. Together, they highlight the message that advancement in agriculture comes from diligent work guided by a hopeful vision for the future. Other symbols on the emblem carry different meanings, but this pair directly illustrates the emblem’s emphasis on progress through labor.
