flunior, Clay Hohertz I 32fF FA Raising I EX CC ta IIIOII m e Show which was held at the Texas Heritage Center. Below Sophomore Chap Agriculture and animals are a life in itself . . The stereotype of boots and a cowboy hat does not always apply to students belonging to Future Farmers of America. Anyone in- terested in learning about agriculture and raising and main- taing livestock are invited to join provided they have the facilities and funding to raise and show a stock animal such as a lamb, cow, or pig. These students are learn- ing many career fields of agriculture by hands-on experience. Thousands of dollars are spent on purchasing livestock and sup- plies. Uncountable hours are put into caring for their livestock. Students are willing to put time and effort into their livestock and f projects because they can get big bucks for the animals and items at market or livestock shows. At the San Antonio Livestock Show, freshman Terrell Olle was Reserve Grand Champion and received 5132300.00 for a pen of ready to cook broilers. during the Austin-Travis County Livestock Show, Junior Clay Hohertz received 32400.00 for his capon which placed 50th in his division, and freshman Becky Pope took in a total of 353,750.00 for her hogs which placed 5th in the light weight division, and 7th in the heavy weight divsion. At the Youth Fair, senior Charmaine Richards received 8740.00 for her class champion layer cake. and Junior Cindy Banker took in 35400.00 for her class champion black and white photo entered in the fair. The Crockett F.F.A. grossed more than 330,000.00 from show sales. The majority of the students time during the freshmen and sophomore years of agriculture class is spent learning about soil, animal and plant science. The junior and senior years are spent on re-emphasizing the different science's dealing with agri- culture, and learning how to utilize the ag. shop work area. It's alot of fun most of the time, and we learn most everything about agriculture and raising livestock. said sophomore Chris Folmar. Some people think that we are just a bunch of dummies that can't take any other class. The majority of people who think that probably couldn't even keep up with our plant science studies. by Christy Hodson Above F.F.A. sponsor David Adams gives his agriculture students pointers on how to show their animals the best before the big event. Right 2nd year agriculture student Chris Folmar works to get his 1150 pound Chianinia-Angus cross ready for auction. Folmar spent over 32100 and three hours a day for a full year to get his steer ready for the show.
