The Future Farmers of America is a non-profit, non-politi- cal, farm youth organization of voluntary membership, designed to take its place along with other agencies striving for the development of leadership, the building of a more permanent agriculture, and the improvement of country life. Among other things, members learn through active participa- tion how to conduct and take part in a public meeting, to speak in public, to buy and sell cooperatively, to solve their own problems, to finance themselves, and to assume civic re- sponsibility. The foundation upon which the Future Farmers of America organization is built includes leadership and character de- velopment, sportsmanship, cooperation, service, thrift, scho- larship, improved agriculture, organized recreation, citizenship and patriotism.
