Was an FFA member in high school. Remember state and national conventions. Went to a couple state conventions and one national convention. Contest work was memorable. Remember parliamentary procedure and public speaking. My FFA advisor was my favorite teacher. Went on to Iowa State and ended up teaching high school agriculture at the same school for 34 years. Competed against my old ag teacher for many of those years as we were in the same sub district. I taught during a good period of time 1976 to 2010. Many students were still from farms and had livestock and crops for their supervised agricultural experience programs. I had a good run having short of 150 State degrees and 30 American Degrees. Had several proficiency award winners competing at the national level. I was fortunate when I retired to have my replacement be one of my former students and carry on the same enthusiasm for the FFA that I had. Yes, things change and probably need to. Few kids from farms, very little livestock, better than 1/2 girls, and no projects in the shop. But honestly it reflects who the students are now and I am very proud of her success and continuation of a successful ag ed / FFA program. Being an ag teacher was a good career for me. As a farmer now most of my former students are some of my best friends.
