Upon graduation from Franklin
County High School in 1989, he
secured a loon to finance construc
tion of four broiler houses. After
interest rates dropped. Glaze refi
nanced the loan and purchased
additional acreage and two more
poultry houses. Even with the
added acreage, refinancing
reduced his loan payments by
$6OO a month.
Glaze developed his financial
management skills, not only in his
poultry business, but by serving as
chapter and district FFA treasurer.
He also served as chairman of the
Franklin County FFA Chapter’s
earnings and savings committee.

sor, said. “Hal’s leadership skills
and influence on others have cer
tainly been an asset to our
chapter.”
