  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  sense of this Legislative Body to support and
promote the historic and significant observance  of  Future  Farmers  of
America (FFA) Week in the State of New York; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
memorialize  Governor  Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 19-26, 2022, as
FFA Week in the State of New York, in conjunction with the observance of
National FFA Week; and

  WHEREAS, The FFA motto: Learning to Do, Doing to Learn,  Earning  to
Live, Living to Serve, gives direction and purpose to those students who
take  an  active  role  in  succeeding  in  agricultural  education  and
leadership; and

  WHEREAS, FFA develops members' potential and helps them to  discover
their  talent  through hands-on experiences, giving the tools to achieve
real-world success; these members are  future  chemists,  veterinarians,
government  officials,  entrepreneurs,  bankers,  international business
leaders, teachers and premier professionals in many career fields; and

  WHEREAS, New York FFA has 142 chapters across New York; and

  WHEREAS, The U.S. Department of Education  provides  leadership  and
helps  set  direction  for  the  FFA  as  a  service  to state and local
agricultural education programs; and

  WHEREAS, In accomplishing its  mission,  FFA  has  made  a  positive
difference  in  the  lives of students by developing their potential for
premier  leadership,  personal  growth  and   career   success   through
agricultural  education, promoting citizenship, volunteerism, patriotism
and cooperation; and

  WHEREAS, Agricultural education and FFA ensure a  steady  supply  of
young  professionals  to meet the growing needs in the science, business
and technology of agriculture; and

  WHEREAS, Agricultural education in New York  affects  and  instructs
students  in  all  parts  of  the  State, and through their efforts, the
officers and members of New York FFA are achieving increased  levels  of
national  recognition for themselves, and their schools and communities,
as well as New York agriculture; and

  WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize  and
applaud  the  leaders  of  commerce  and  industry whose accomplishments
contribute to the economic health and prosperity of the  communities  of
the  State  of  New  York and to the quality of life of its people; now,
therefore, be it

  RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its  deliberations  to
memorialize  Governor  Kathy Hochul to proclaim February 19-26, 2022, as
FFA Week in the State of New York; and be it further
