F.F.A. creates profit through sausage sale and other projects The Future Farmers of America officers were installed at the FFA Banquet in April of 1982. Daron Ruckman was elected President; Martin Ahrens, Vice-President; Andy Ernsting, Secretary; Keith Sauber, Treasurer; Jay Ingalls, Reporter; and Doug Carpenter, Sentinel. The officers, under the direction of Howard Wallace, planned the year’s activities. At each monthly meeting, different speakers were asked to present a program to the future farm- ers. Wallace and the officers also planned the money-making projects for the year. To raise money, the club sponsored a bake sale and a sausage sale. The club also sponsored the FFA auction. The Auction was the outlet for the projects created and produced by the FFA members. It was not intended as a money-making project but any profit made would be used by the club for future activities. IT GOES RIGHT HERE. Vice president Martin Ahrens and sponsor Howard Wallace work together for FFA. The two, along with the other officers, planned the monthly meetings and activities.
