Elizabethtown FFA holds annual banquet
ELIZABETHTOWN - Chapter
members, parents and guests were
told that they need to become good
managers of their resources to
participate in farming at the an
nual awards banquet of the
Elizabethtown FFA m the Middle
School Cafeteria on Thursday,
May 7.
“Anything that you can use to
become a success is a resource,”
Dean Steinhart, assistant
superintendent of the
Elizabethtown School District,
said.
The school administrator, who is
moving to the superintendent’s
post in Northern Lebanon, pointed
to the numerous rewards that had
been given to the various chapter
members at the banquet.
“Always be concerned with
rewards,” he said.
“They can make the difference
in the person who uses available
resources to become a success.”
The educator speculated that if
the farm doesn’t lead the way,
there is little hope for the nation’s
economy.
“Everything starts on the land,”
he said.
“Look at the resources available
to you in the land, use them well
and it will mean growth for the
country.
“Fanning is a very satisfying
occupation. It’s one of the few left
where you can see results. Nothing
is better than being able to harvest
