Future Farmers of America Covington Future Farmers have expanded from three acres of corn in the past year to a partner- ship in the farm of Mr. Johnson, as well as addi- tional farm land. The reason for this expansion was to provide opportunities for more boys to participate in the program. This expansion was financed by grass mowing, garden plowing, etc. Their farm program grossed $1,200, which was used to pay expenses and buy new equipment. These boys do not spend all their time farming. On the social side, they play basketball and base- ball. The big event of the year is their parents' banquet. This meeting was opened with parli- mentary proceedings. Mr. Runyan then presented the awards that were earned. Talks on their trips to Kansas City and Michigan, taken during the summer, were given by members of the club. The meeting and banquet was brought to an end with a speech given by an officer of the State Chapter about his farming program. Tom Walker, Jerry Taylor, and Gary Rumble gather information for their F.F.A. project. 25
