A2B—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 21,1981
FFA tradition
chapter presidency or the
Keystone Degree, the program
continually provides something to
work toward
“And when you move out of the
program, you do the same
“You set new goals and you work
toward them.”
Brother Larry cites the
leadership qualities which can be
developed through FFA activities
“From chapter activities
through specialized events as the
Washington Conference, there are
plenty of opportunities to develop
leadership through the program,”
he said.
The goal setting and leadership
development obviously have
helped all of the Wengers as they
have moved into various assign
ments in the family businesses,
which include one of the most
extensive used farm equipment
and parts outlets m the country.

The family supports the FFA
program in several ways
In addition to financial support
of the National FFA Foundation,
the family aids the county
program, such as supplying the
medals for the project book contest
for the past 20 years
Thus while one phase of the
Wengers’ FFA involvement is
coming to an end, their association
with the program will continue
Besides their support, there are
the goals of Dave and then Glenn to
achieve their American Degrees.
And then too, there very likely
eventually will be a third
generation of participation and
involvement
But the Wengers will need to
wait a few years for that until the
kindergarten-age sons of Lloyd
and Larry become eligible
State’s new soil testing

Anderson and Donald Robinson

shows the average amount of
