Baxter Black: Paying tribute to those who teach agriculture

To hear the musical version of this, go to baxterblack.com

This is dirt. We call it soil

This is work. Some call it toil

We make food from dirt and rain



We’re the first link in the chain

“They might learn to weld or be a speaker Be a nerdy scientist, Or an ag economist, But most of all a person of good character.”

I teach’em how



Here by the owl

I take kids and turn them into people

I know each one in my class

And I want them all to pass

Each one is good at something and we’ll find it

That’s just our way

The FFA

Some like showing livestock at the fairgrounds

Others like the tractor sound

And the tilling of the ground

They use their brain and their hands to get the job done

They’re on their way

The FFA

They might learn to weld or be a speaker

Be a nerdy scientist

Or an ag economist

But most of all a person of good character

So we can say

They’re FFA

This is dirt. We call it soil

This is work. Some call it toil

We make food from dirt and rain

We’re the first link in the chain

I teach’em how

Here by the owl❖
