Supervised FarmEng Kesullts
Will Be Seen at County (Fair
Among the exhibits at the
Jackson County 4-H and Fu
ture Farmers of -America fair
will be results of the super
vised farming programs con
ducted by the various FFA
chapters.
Supervised farming is an
important activity of the FFA,
chapter advisors stated.
"Future Farmers believe
learning by doing is the best
way to achieve success," ac
cording to Ed Griggs, voca
tional agriculture instructor
and FFA chapter advisor at
Crater High school, Central
Point.
' Each FFA member ' has
some home project to give
his agricultural education
practical application in the
home and farm situation,
Griggs explained. Farm proj
ects vary from an investment
of a few" dollars to several
thousand dollars, he said
Each student is guided by the
vocational agriculture instruc
tor during 12 months of the
year.
Class Instruction
"The FFA member receives
class instruction in approved
practices for agriculture en
terprises in his community,"
Nat Etzel, Eagle Point voca
tional agriculture instructor
and chapter advisor said.
"This enables him to choose
proper crop varieties, fertiliz
ers and soil types plus proper
breeds of animals, feeds and
management practices for his
livestock projects." , "
One of the various incen
tives used to stimulate inter
est in supervised farming is
a promotional degree pro
gram for achievements in ag
riculture, Etzel explained.
A beginning student in vo
cational agriculture is requir
ed to own some form of farm
enterprise to receive the
"Green Hand" degree.
The second year student
must further demonstrate his
proficiency insupervised
farming and leadership before
he is given the "Chapter
Farmer" degree.
Accurate Degree
Boys holding either of these
two degrees must keep ac
curate records on supervised
farming projects. Record
books include pages for busi
ness agreements with parents,
budgets, inventories, dairy
and labor records and daily
expenses and receipts.
Students who demonstrate
outstanding achievements in
supervised farming and ag
ricultural knowledge are
awarded the "State Farmer"
degree. This degree is limited

Only two boys in Oregon may
be awarded this degree in any
one year.
As part -of the continuing
activities of the local FFA
chapters, various livestock

throughout the state each
year. Crater, Eagle Point and
Phoenix FFA chapter mem
bers attended the livestock
judging contest in Josephine
county Aug. 13 in prepara-
tion for the Jackson county
contest this week. All three
chapters plan to send teams

such supervised farming acti
vities as dairy farming, farm
mechanics, farm safety, and
soil and water management.
Each year chapters enter
contestants in the district bet
ter farming contest.
"The boys feel that an ac
tive supervised farming pro
gram will help them to reach
their goal which is the suc
cessful farmer of tomorrow is
the Future Farmer of today,"
Etzel concluded.
