The Future Farmers of America is a national organization of, by and
for farm boys who are studying vocational agriculture in the public high schools
of the nation. A local chapter of this fine organization is active in the Eaton,
Greeley, Grover, New Raymer, Platte Valley, Weld Central, and Windsor High Schools
of Meld County.
As America's future farmers, these young men hold in their minds and hands
the progress that this community and this nation may make in the years to come, because
a prosperous and productive agriculture is the very foundation of our American standard
of living. we will need good farmers in our future.
As students of vocational agriculture in high school they study the
scientific, economic, and mechanical aspects of modern farming. As members of
the Future Farmers of America they learn through active participation how to conduct
and take part in public meetings; to speak in public; to market farm products; to
solve their own problems; to finance themselves, and to assume civic responsibility.
The population of America and of the world is undergoing tremendous growth.
Despite the great abundance of agricultural products today, it is vital to our future
happiness and security that we maintain a supply of skilled farmers and other
agricultural workers to assure that there always will be plenty of farm products
to supply our needs. Future Farmers of America are training for this important
work. It is fitting that we honor them.
We, therefore, join with others throughout the nation in proclaiming
February 15 - 22, 1964, to be Future Farmers of America Week. We urge all people
of this community to become acquainted with and give full support to the program
of vocational education in agriculture, and to its students, the Future Farmers
of America. They are the successful farmers and
�/ural leaders of tom r ow.
