What is the FFA motto?

• A. Learning to Teach, Doing to Learn, Earning to Serve, Living to Lead
• B. Learning to Work, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Serving to Learn
• C. Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve
• D. Learning to Plant, Doing to Grow, Earning to Serve, Living to Serve

Answer: (C)

The motto presents a four-step path that FFA values: Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve. It starts with acquiring practical skills, then applying those skills to learn more through action, using that work to earn a living, and finally dedicating what you’ve gained to serving others. This sequence captures the hands-on, service-minded focus of agricultural education and the purpose behind pursuing knowledge through work. The other phrasings change key verbs or the order, shifting the emphasis away from the same progression and the service mindset, so the official motto fits best.
