Finstad said about 100,000 students participate in agricultural education in high schools across Texas, but
only slightly more than 60 percent are dues-paid members of the FFA.
“We want to raise that number, and with Tom’s work with the media and in communications, and his ability to
work with leadership, I think we will be able to raise that percentage,” Finstad said.
As Plainview’s FFA advisor, Maynard has overseen the development of radio, television and internet pro-
gramming, some of which have achieved statewide distribution. He also has written for numerous newspa-
pers and developed television programming at Texas Tech University.

The Spring Break weather was unpredictable all week. The early
part of the week was warm and nice. Thursday turned cold and windy
with sprinkles in some areas. There never was enough moisture to
settle the dust. I guess this is typical spring weather for Crow Flat.
You just never know what the nextDay will bring.

Pinon to Crow Flat. He says that he was busy all day ano didn’t have

the week visiting family in the Lubbock area. Friday, March 10, they

The Texas organization is the nation’s largest state FFA association with a membership of nearly $60,000,
Maynard lived at Boys Ranch from 1975 to 1982, and was actively involved in the FFA organization, sen
ing as district president and state vice president. Maynard also worked for the National FFA Organize
on the staff of the organization’s national leadership conference in 1987.
Maynard’s 13-year career as an agricultural science teacher has included stints in Dell City, a small rural
community in the El Paso area, and in Bandera, northwest of San Antonio.
“I think he’ll be great for the job,” said Boys Ranch FFA advisor Dennis Moore, who was Maynard’s FR
advisor in 1981-82. “Having seen the FFA all the way around, first as a student, an FFA officer, anag
teacher and now as executive secretary, he will be a valuable asset to the organization.”
Maynard received an endorsement by Agricultural Teachers Association Executive Secretary Guy Fin-
stad, who served as Boys Ranch FFA advisor from 1960 to 1980.
“His record of accomplishment is evident,” Finstad said. “He’s an exceptional young man with high charac-
ter that we are all very happy to see take the reins of the FFA organization.”
Finstad said Maynard can bring about positive changes in the organization in part due to Maynard’s me-
dia experience.
