Jim Aston reports on October 8 1973 when Audrain County R-6 Freshman FFA members attended the Greenhand motivation conference in Columbia. About 350 freshmen from various schools including 50 girls gathered at the Holiday Inn basement, heard Fred Heinkel speak, and split into buzz sessions to discuss the FFA meaning and its 12 committees, learning that effort yields better results.
The Community R-6 Future Farmers of America chapter outlines a week of events from February 17 to 23 to celebrate FFA week at the local level.
