Presi dent Williams began his remarks by inviting everyone present to the 15th National Young Farmer Educational Institute to be held December 6-10, 1981 in Hershey. “Agriculture is Penn sylvania's second largest industry,” said Williams, “and we have a lot to be proud of and a lot to show off” Williams went on to say there exists a need for continuing education in agriculture today, and that many farmers cannot leave the farm to go to school, Agriculture teachers have the training, knowledge, and expertise needed to meet these needs. “Young Fanner programs provide a flexible, proven, and dynamic structure to involve farmers in their own betterment through education and participation in their communities,” Williams declared. “Fur thermore, these programs are the most broad based New & Used Silos New & Used Extensions Tear down & Rebuild Gunite silo relining & repairs Replastering, roofs, permanent pipe & distributors Oxygen Limiting Silos above and below ground manure storage Jamesway Unloaders Barn Equipment Write or Call DETWEILER SILOS Rd 2 Box 267-D Newvilie r ßA 17241 Phone: 717-532-3039 717-776-7533 717-776-3288 and comprehensive educational programs available to the agricultural community today, com bining the efforts and sup port of three major levels of government: federal, state, and local.” Williams reminded the teachers that systematic classroom instruction, in dividual on-farm visits and instruction, and sound leadership training are the three elements which combine to form such as viable educational structure in an industry where knowledge of local con ditions is imperative to that industry’s success. “You local Ag teachers have a knowledge of local conditions which gives you a unique leadership op portunity to influence the future of agriculture in your communities, not only by working with the young people, but by working with their fathers and mothers as well,” Williams concluded his remarks with the thought that, “A young farmer is any farmer willing to learn. ” LOOKING FOR A NEW TASTE?
