The Extemporaneous
Speaking Contest, begun in
1979, in which contestants
draw a topic and have only
30 minutes to prepare their
speech, will be held on
Wednesday afternoon.
Since 1930, thousands of
FFA members have stepped
up to the podium to express
their views on timely
agricultural subjects. In the
thirties, topics that dealt
with “farm tax
equalization” and “the
debenture clause” were
presented at local, state and
national competition. In
contrast, 1979 National
Winner Lynette Marshall
spoke on the nitrate ban and
its effects on the meat in
dustry.
The Extemporaneous
Speaking Contest seeks to
encourage FFA members to
become well-versed in a
variety of agricultural topics
and have the ability “to
think on one’sfeet”.
The winner of both
National Contests will
receive $3OO. Other awards

million tons in 1968. The drop

of the program on Aghme
