One of the biggest successful fund raisers and "Supervised Farming Practices" we had was to take the ground on which the new High School was to be built and farm it. We then got the local machinery dealers to demonstrate their newest tractors, plows, disks, etc. We then publicized the events so the Indianapolis Star, the local papers and the machinery dealers could take advantage of the publicity. We then got the local seed corn dealers to sponsor the latest variety of corn and used test plots to see how well it all did. I also did that same thing when I was doing my student teaching--with very good results--had a dynamite Vo Ag teacher that got me into all of this!! Realize that was a different time/era, but it sure did seem like a way to get the community involved without getting our hands too deep into the local pockets! Very fond memories!
