RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 02/25/18 > Livestock shows and FFA what you probably don’t know…
That is one big detailed post about the Future Farmers of America organization. How it all started and where has it gone since it started.
I just could not find the name of the commissioner who started it all? Could not find in your post. He had a great idea of educating young people about agriculture and how to live off the land. I think it is an important tool to learn in life. I think kids today would almost starve to death if supermarkets closed up. Because they do not know anything about agriculture and living off the land. Not sure how it is in Texas, but most kids in countries only know how to use the microwave these days. lol
Great post my friend. Very well written. Awesome job. I would suggest addding some more photos so it is not just plain text. :)
Have an amazing day. :)
Okay @awakentolife if you must know the FFA was the idea of a man named Walter S. Newman. We would also have a bunch of starving folks here in Texas as most don't know a thing about growing any type of vegetable or raising a animal for slaughter.
Agriculture has gone away from the small farm to corporate run mega farms but it is an industry that will always be needed and supply a livelihood.
As far as adding pictures , I do agree that they sure add to these blogs, but I have my own rule that I stick too, which is I only use my own photos. I don't have any photos from FFA stuff so I elected to stick with my rule rather than go grab some off the internet. It is just my personal thing. I could throw a picture of a tractor and some farmers, and some of the cows in the pasture but I don't know that it would any value to what I have written. But in honor of your suggestion I'll add a couple.
Thanks for the positive feed back and constructive advice. Very much appreciated.
Thank you for writing the name for me. I just like to know who I am reading about. So thank for adding his name here. :) I agree with you. It is the case with most countries today. If supermarkets closed people would not know how to survive on their own living off the land.
Another reason why I suggested adding little pictures is that people are very much visual and like to see them in the post. Plus if you break a long text with pictures it makes it look little "smaller" and it is easier to read the post. At least this is the case for me and the reason why I suggested it. :)
Pixabay is a great source of free pictures you can use without having problems with copyright issues. But in the end, this is your blog and of course, in the end, you will do what you feel is best for you. :)
Keep up the amazing work you are doing. Have the best day ever. :)
Thanks popo. Hope you have a great day as well.
