It was his strong interests in agriculture which drove him towards that goal - even though it meant transferring from one high school to another in order to par ticipate in the FFA program. He graduated from Garden Spot High School in 1975, after having piled up a remarkable string of achievements within the ag curriculum. He is a former vice president of the Penn sylvania FFA organization and served as president of the Grassland Chapter. While success has been a way of life for the young man, he has not allowed himself to rest on his laurels nor lose his humble attitude. “I still have so much to learn,” he said occasionally lest anyone get the im pression that he has fulfilled his ambitions. Nothing could be further from the truth.

In the past he has worked with a purebred Duroc herd from which he has sold breeding stock to all parts of the Keystone State. He started with a chain gilt from his school and the bulk of the herd was derived from her. Another one of Hoover’s goals is to earn the American Fanner Degree - the highest award obtainable in the FFA program. The modest young man readily admits that his ac tivities keep him busy. The job at the Stock Yards takes six days a week for a total of around 40 hours. His work at home requires another 40 hours. That doesn’t leave much time for girls, but somehow Hoover has managed that part of his life too, and he’s presently engaged to Elaine Dif fenderfer. Marriage plans are slated for next Spring.

Commenting on the FFA program itself, Hoover says “it turns a person inside out, it gives you a good look at yourself and helps you find out what you want to do.” He credits his FFA years in high school as having been very instrumental in putting him on a path which has led to success for him and believes strongly that it can do the same for anyone. “The FFA is there to provide worthy and unlimited opportunities in order for young people to achieve in agriculture and related businesses,” he says. “A youth becoming in volved in agriculture today can experience the satisfaction not only through individual achievement, but because of the dependence and respect the American people are beginning to have for agriculture. I feel that people are beginning to realize that the farmer is more than a tiller of the soil.
