FFA members are youthful Americans with
some of the same aspirations and interests as
adults. They want to see America be strong and
vibrant in the future. This is indicated by their
willingness to work, and their healthy attitude
about getting involved. FFA'ers are serious
about preparing themselves for a career in
agriculture as part of vo-ag studies in high
school. And they know it helps to be adequately
prepared for a career. They also recognize a
need to make America better and the need to
start now. The FFA has always conducted
community service projects, and now the FFA is
putting extra emphasis on this type of activity.
Extend your best wishes to them some way
during National FFA WEEK.
