Del. FFA 9 er chosen for
foreign work experience
DOVER, Del. - A
University of Delaware
agriculture student is the
first Delawarean ever to be
selected for the Future
Farmers of America Work
Experience Abroad
program.
Twenty-one-year-old Jo
Ann Stafford will spend the
summer in Sweden, Norway,
or Italy, living and working
on a family farm. Half-way
through the summer she will
join other program par
ticipants in some central
location to share ex
periences. Those who can
afford it will then spend one
and one-half weeks in a
whirlewind European tour
before getting back to
business of agriculture.
Ms. Stafford says all
program participants are
responsible for their own
expenses, so she is hoping
area businesses and
organizations will come to
her support. As a final
requirement of the program,
she will show slides of her
experiences to local groups
upon her return.
DBS
ot her extensive FFA ex
perience A member of FFA
for six years, she has been
statewide vice-president for
the past four. Her FFA
projects have included
raising rabbits, caring for
her horse and two Holstein
heifers, and raising broilers
on her parent’s farm in
Newark.
Although FFA activities
have taken her around the
country to various
workshops and conferences
(including trips to
Washington where she met
Delaware’s members of
Congress, the Secretary of
Agriculture, and the last two
U.S. Presidents), the Work
Experience Abroad program
will give her her first op
portunity to travel outside
the United States. Not
wanting to stop there, she
also hopes to spend a year in
the Peace Corps in Africa
before settling down to a
career as a high school
animals science teacher. She
feels that the foreign
experience will give her
much to talk about m the
classroom.
An extremely active
person, Ms. Stafford spends
several hours each day
caring for her animals at her
parent’s farm. She also
works part-time in a health
food store in addition to her
university works as an
agriculture education and
animal science major. Her
advisor, Prof. R. Dean
Shippy, says she is a very
good student despite the
heavy course load her double
majorentails.
