Ask your state senator and rep
resentative for his support in restor
ing funds for Future Farmers, and
all underfunded ag programs.
Other vocational students need
help, too. The governor budgeted
an extra $84,000,000 for basic edu
cation but cut vocational funds by
$63,000. He also chopped out
$195,000 for vocational student
organizations.

Casey give
the axe”
let
ds
says Ken Brandt
Here goes Governor Casey
again—balancing the 1890-91 budget
on the backs of our farm kids.
The governor also chopped ag
research, marketing, promotions,
PDA. By millions. But absolutely the
most unforgiveable cut, in my mind,
is the big fat "0” for FFA Foundation.
It's not much $33,000, but it
says a lot about Mr. Casey's credibil
ity as an ag advocate.
Let's look at the facts:
1. Fully 20% of the jobs in Penn
sylvania are on the farm or ag
related. And no youngsters are better
trained for these jobs... or more
dedicated... than our FFA boys and
girls. Some 7,800 of them.
2. Most Future Farmers depend
on vo-ag classes for such basics as
agronomy, animal husbandry, ag
engineering and environmental sci
ences. It's the FFA Foundation that
provides hands-on experience with
its contests and activities.
It makes little sense to preserve
farms if we don’t preserve future
farmers.
Drop the ball now, Mr. Casey, and
we all will be the worse for it. Con
sumers as well as producers. City as
well as rural residents.
I can promise you this. As a
Republican legislator, I'll work to
restore those funds. For our Future
Farmers. For all agriculture.
