One of 26 U.S. young farmers heading for Australia, High is the only Penn sylvania representative par ticipating in the program. His journey begins on August 21, with a flight to San Francisco for two days of orientation. Then it’s off to Australia where he’ll be living and working with a farm family, earning his room and board, along with a modest amount of spending money. High points out, however, that the FFA offers no free rides to WEA participants, and the total $3,500 cost of domestic and in ternational airfares will be his own responsibility.
