I’m interested in how they educate young people to that end.” The purpose of the tour was to visit businesses and industries that provide essential support for FFA programs.

They need exposure to other countries and other coun tries need a positive ex posure to us.” While in Japan, the group fSJ TO SERVE YOU BETTER m MIXED FERTILIZER AGRICULTURAL CHEMICALS ROYSTER BONANZA AND CROP SPECIALS m toured Tokyo, visited the Tokyo Wholesale Market and attended a briefing at the American Embassy with representatives from the American Soybean Association and- U.S. Feed Grains Council.
