RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 02/25/18 > Livestock shows and FFA what you probably don’t know…
That's really very interesting, and I think even if your kids aren't destined to be farmers they could benefit from joining the FFA and learning how to grow/raise their own food, where food actually comes from, and how important it is to maintain our food chain. And who knows, they could become homesteaders some day, in which case their knowledge from the FFA will be invaluable.
I know here in Texas even home school children can be a part of FFA through their local school district, but the school districts won't let parents know that for the most part.
It is a great program with excellent scholarship opportunities, the FFA even has collegiate programs as well.
It would surely make for a well rounded education, knowing about agriculture and agribusiness.
I'll have to look into it. Do you know how young they can begin?
There are FFA programs that start in middle school, just depends on the school district.
