[Ag-eq] Farm Bureau and Young Farmers

[Zach Mason]

FYI, FFA = Future Farmers of America, and the 4 H's refer to head, heart,
hands and health. They are both youth programs. FFA is strictly for training
the future leaders in agriculture while 4-H comprises just about any project
you can think of including agriculture. In the northeast at least, FFA is
pretty weak compared to 4-H's agricultural programs. 

A lot of times when you go to county fairs, about 50-75% of the animals
exhibited are shown by a 4-H or FFA member.

Out of curiosity, what are those groups?

Out of curiosity, how many of us belong to young farmers or farm bureau? I
am starting a group of young farmers in my county. The plan is to bring them
to a sugar on snow party in March, schedule a formal meeting for April, and
elect officers then. 

 

Any current or former FFA or 4-H leaders out there? I am going to lead a
project meeting on calf selection for my local club. Just thought if
someone's done something like that in the past if they could share pointers.
I know how to select project animals, but less about educating bitty little
children. LOL
