FFA Makes A Contribution
To The World’s Agriculture
Youth ambassadors FFA
members are working to im
prove agriculture and establish
Future Farmer organizations in
South and Central American
vocational agriculture schools.
The FFA began working with
Colombia, South America, in
the early ‘6o’s when the Agency
for International Development
invited the national FFA organ
ization to send an official to
assist Colombians in establish
ing a youth organization for
students of vocational agricul
ture. As a result of that visit, the
Futuros Agricultores de Colom
bia, FAC (Future Farmers of
Colombia) was founded. The
organization was patterned after
the Future Farmers of America,
and even today the organization
uses many similar rituals and
has the same aims and purposes
Throughout the ‘6o’s the FFA
maintained contact with the
Future Farmers of Colombia.
In 1968 a national FFA officer
traveled to Buga. Colombia to
attend the National Convention
of the FAC In 1970 the FFA
«ent its Manager of Interna
tional Activities, and an FFA
member. Alfred Trujillo of New
Mexico, to Colombia to learn
how the FFA could be of further
assistance to the Colombian stu
dents. As a result of their visit
to schools in both Columbia and
Panama, an exchange program
for students and teachers was
initiated between the United
States. Colombia and Panama
The first two FFA members
to visit South America on
Thursday, February 15
730 p.m - Manheim Young

730 pm - Lancaster County
Poultry men meeting “Poultry
Health Management”, Farm

Saturday, February 17
National FFA week begins today
ON
the Work Experience Abroad
program were Tom Hagan of
Arizona and John Rivera of
New Mexico. Both spent three
months living and working in
schools in the coffee-growing
regions of Colombia. They also
assisted instructors by teaching
agricultural courses and by
teaching English. While Hagan
and Rivera were in Colombia,
two Colombian agriculture in
structors came to the United
States. They too lived and
worked with hosts in this coun
trv to get a taste of U.S. farm
life.
In 1971 the FFA also initiated
its first FFA exchange with
Panama when Ohio FFA Pres
ident Dave Branham spent three
months living and working on
farms and in vocational agri
culture schools in Panama.
Three teachers from Panama
also visited the U.S.
During 1972-1973 three Co
lombian vocational agriculture
instructors and two students
who are members of the FAC
are in the U.S. on a three-month
exchange program. One FFA
member, Steven Tindall of Illi
nois. will spend six months liv
ing and working in the Colom
bian vocational agriculture
schools.
Also this year, for the first
time, the FFA is hosting stu
dents from Brazil. The delega
tion of six Brazilian vocational
agriculture students is the first
in what the FFA hopes will be
the establishment of a regular
exchange of members to that
country.
