four years of studies in three years
so she can jom her future husband
on his Del-Rose farm after
graduation.
Barbara divides her weekends
between two farms, her family’s
Dairysmith farm and the Del-Rose
farm, where she contributes her
technical know-how to the dairy
operations.
Somehow she still finds time to
hold down a secretary’s job at
Cornell and to prepare for her
heavy schedule of animal science
classes.
Lake other farm youngsters,
Barbara learned personal com
mittment at an early age

chores. When she got her first calf

MARK YEAZEL
The sixth national winner is
Mark Yeazel, 20, of Eaton, who is a
sophomore majoring in dairy herd
management at Eastern Kentucky
University.
Yeazel’s formal history of
dairying began when he went into a
limited partnership with his fathei
and brother at the age of 16 years.
Mark says his fatherfelt that a five
percent partnership would account
for the number of cows he could
acquire on his own working time at
the farm.
At present, Mark is a partner
with 25 percent interest in the farm
which includes responsibilities for
fulfilling financial payments in
farm loans. After he graduates
from college, Mark will become an
equal partner in business with his
father and brother.
Recognized for his production
records, Mark- has won a dairy
production proficiency award
given by the Ohio Purebred Cattle
Association. Yeazel has also won
FFA’s Star State Farmer award.
The son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Yeazel, Mark looks forward to the
day when he can do more to keep
the farm producing at maximum
efficiency each year. “I see many
opportunities for success with our
registered Holstems and 1 believe
that through them, my family can
attain a nch and full life.”

FFA membership increases
WASHINGTON - The Future
Farmers of America Organization
is growing! FFA membership
reached 482,611 for 1980-81, an
increase of 935 members from last
yeanThis increase reverses three
years of declining membership.
“The increase in FFA mem
bership is probably in part thanks
to the 10-PLUS program and 100
percent recognition that was
started this year,” said Mark
Hemdon, National FFA President.
“High school enrollment has
decreased over the past few years,
but this program promotes the
many benefits of being an FFA
member so more vocational
agriculture students join the
organization. Through the 10-
PLUS program, 1,585 chapters
gained 10 or more members over
last year. Nationwide, 2,600
chapters had an FFA membership
equal to or greater than the
number of vo-ag students, so they
were named 100 percent chapters.
Many graduate vo-ag students
continue their FFA membership so
their chapters achieve even more
than lOOpercentmembersfaip.
“FFA offers endless op
portunities for every-vocational
agriculture student,” Herndon
said. “The Programs prepare
members for careers in
agriculture and agribusiness by
teaching technical skills as well as
communication and leadership
abilities.”
