(CmMmml fra* hp 1)
meeting other FFA’crs was
one of the main objectives of
the meeting."
Representing some 17
different states, the FFA’era
had the opportunity to share
many ideas during the
week's conference. Informal
“rap” sessions also gave the
youths the opportunity to
find out how FFA differed
throughout the nation.
“I learned a lot about the
cultures of FFA’era all over
the country and also about
their programs," Steve
noted.
The Manheim FFA’er was
surprised that in the Mid
west, the FFA Clubs were
quite spread out over large
distances.
Along with their studies on
leadership, the youths at
tended training sessions on
social and personal
relations.
One special event which
the youths are treated to
each year is a visitation to
the office of their State
Senators. Steve went to see
Congressman Eshleman but
in the Congressman’s ab
sence, talked to his aide.
Steve noted that the
Congressman’s aide talked
to the group on the bills
pertinent to agriculture
currently under con
sideration.

LIVESTOCK
SERVICES
Taking dairy projects in FFA was only natural for
Steve as he helps out on his parent’s dairy farm
during the summer and after school. The young
man admits that pipeline milking has made the job
a lot easier.
FFA work two years ago.
Although his family has a
herd of Holsteins, Steve does
have a Brown Swiss cow
which he won as a chain calf.
Along with his dairy in
terest, Steve has been an
avid public speaker, many
times talking on the topic of
wildlife preservation as his
%l BREEDERS COOPERATIVE
theme.
Until the end of the
summer, Steve will be
helping out on his parents
dairy farm near Penryn but
as schooltime comes again
Steve will no doubt be
planning new projects and
activities for another year in
FFA.
