If you have ever wondered why Blanchard turns out such good farmers, it is because of Blanchard's chapter of FUTURE FARMERS OF AMERICA. The boys learn all aspects of farming from soil conservation to cattle judging. The boys participate in the local Blanchard Show, the County Livestock Show, the Oklahoma City Show, and the Tulsa Livestock Show each fall and spring. Each year is highlighted by the Parent-Son Banquet held to honor the members that have shown improvement and outstanding achievement. F.F.A. OFFICERS: J. Sill-President; M. Starr-Reporter; R.
