FFA CreedI 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 ofbetter days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us fromthe 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 andhold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement, Icannot deny. I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability towork efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in theability of progressive agriculturists to serve our own and the public interest in producing andmarketing the product of our toil. I believe in less dependence on begging and more power in bargaining; in the life abundantand enough honest wealth to help make it so--for others as well as myself; in less need forcharity and more of it when needed; in being happy myself and playing square with thosewhose happiness depends upon me. I believe that American agriculture can and will hold true to the best traditions of our nationallife and that I can exert an influence in my home and community which will stand solid for mypart in that inspiring task.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Wear approved eye protection. Industrial-quality eye protection should be worn at all times. Safety glasses should have the Z87.1 logo on them to assure they are industrial quality. Wear proper clothing. This varies depending on the type of hand tool you are working with. Work clothing should not be loose, baggy, or highly flammable. To protect against burns, wear clothing such as coveralls, high-top shoes, leather aprons and leather gloves. Remove all paper from pockets and wear cuffless pants. When working with heavy metals wear hard-toed shoes with non-skid soles. Avoid wearing synthetic clothing because it has a low flashpoints which can result in severe burns. Do not wear jewelry. It can get caught in moving parts. Protect your hair, scalp, and head. Pull back long hair in a band or a cap to keep it from getting caught in tools. Be extremely careful with long hair when using a drill or drill press. When handling carpentry materials wear a hard hat or bump cap to protect your head. Watch your fingers. Take special care when hammering so that you strike the object, not your fingers. Keep your mind on your work. Avoid horseplay and loud talk. Loud talking as well as pushing, running, and scuffling while working with hand tools can cause serious accidents. Be alert and work defensively. Keep work area and tools clean. Dirty, greasy, and oily tools and floors can cause accidents. Clean and put away all unneeded tools and materials. Clean up spills and scraps from the floor and equipment. Keep paths to exits clear. If conditions are dusty, use a respirator. Use tools properly. Always use proper-sized tools and equipment for the job. Use each tool only for the job for which it was intended. Forcing a small tool to do the job of a large one may result in injury or tool damage. Never use a screw driver to see if electrical circuits are hot. Never use a machinist's hammer in place of a carpenter's hammer. Do not strike a hardened steel surface, such as an anvil, with a steel hammer because a small piece of steel may break off and injure someone. Be sure wrenches fit properly. Never use pliers in place of a wrench. Never strike wrenches with hammers. Pull on wrenches, do not push. When sawing secure the material in the saw vise. Keep cutting-edge tools sharp. Dull cutting-edge tools are dangerous as they require excessive pressure and hammering to make them cut. When cutting always cut away from the body. Before using any cutting tool, remove nails or other objects that might destroy the tool's cutting edge. Carry and store tools properly. All sharp-edge tools and chisels should be carried with the cutting edge down. Never carry sharp tools in a pocket. Store all sharp-edge cutting tools with the sharp edges down. Inspect tools before using. Avoid using damaged tools. Tools that appear to be damaged or have broken handles should be marked unsafe. Do not use them until they have been repaired. Grip tools firmly. Hold hand tools securely so that they do not slip and hit someone. Do not wear gloves--they are bulky and make gripping tools difficult.

Electricity
Basic electrical symbols Click this link to see a
table Wire Colors
Basic electrical tools Tools Needed - Wire cutters, strippers, stapler, and screwdrivers Cable - Purchase enough cable to reach your circuit and allow at the least 10%
extra to accommodate any bends. Also, check to see if the cable will be able to handle the amperage that you will be using it for. Although low resistance wire is more costly, it will save money in the long run by reducing power loss or blown fuses and will increase safety.
Boxes - Remember that you will need a box for every break in the cable, which includes outlets, fixtures and splices.
Wire Connectors - Purchase at least two wire connectors for every cable slice that you plan to make. Most light fixtures come pre-wired and will have to be sliced on the circuit cable. However, sockets and switches do not require connectors because they can be mounted directly on the cable.
Insulated Staples - Use these staples to mount the cable to the studs. Make sure that you have the right size for the cable you are using.
Insulated Tape - Necessary for wrapping splices or taping any electrical wires. Wall Plates - Make sure that you have the right number and configuration to
match the fixtures installed.
