bor’s dairy farm.
Nelson has also been ac
tive in many FFA activities
including being a member of
the Parliamentary
Procedure team and on the
tractor driving and dairy
judging teams.
Working with dairy
animals has helped Nelson
leam what to look for in
purchasing sound animals
and also aided him in placing
first in the county dairy
judging contest held during
the Lampeter Fair.
Nelson explained that he
had enjoyed being in FFA
and appreciated the op
portunities that have been
made available to him
through the program.
“I’ve learned how to take
on responsibility and how to
keep records that I know will
help me in the future.”
“Through FFA I have
learned how to get things
done in an efficient manner
which has been helpful.”
Along with his work in
FFA, Nelson is active in his
church youth group and

Mennonite Chorus.
Nelson is the son of Mr.

VT'T
Nelson is one of the almost
100 young men in the
souteastem Pennsylvania
area to be selected to receive
the FFA Keystone Farmer
degree for his year. For all
these young people it has
meant a great deal of effort
and extra hours of work on
projects that have ranged
from dairy animals to small
engines and agribusiness
ventures.
As we congratulate these
young men and women we
should remember the others
in the background who have
also given a helping hand -
the parents and agricultural
instructors who always help
to make FFA a success.
