Who is credited with writing the FFA motto?

The FFA motto, which is "Learning to Do, Doing to Learn, Earning to Live, Living to Serve," is credited to Charles Lane. He contributed this motto to encapsulate the essence of what FFA stands for and aims to instill in its members. The motto emphasizes the importance of experiential learning, leadership, and community service, which are core principles of the FFA organization.

While other influential figures in FFA history, like Henry Groseclose, played significant roles in the founding and establishment of the organization and its activities, it was Lane’s specific wording of the motto that has become a key element in the FFA's identity.
