Among other things, members learn through active participation how to conduct and take part in public meetings, to speak in public, to buy and sell cooperatively, to solve their own problems, to finance themselves, and to assume civic responsibility. It is a non-profit, non-political farm youth organization of voluntary membership for a more permanent agriculture and the improvement of country life. Improved agricul- ture, better local communities, a more satisfying farm-home life, and more efficient farmer- citizens are emerging as a result of the boys' experiences in this organization-The Fu- ture Farmers oi America.
