The Debate - Interrupted By Dissenters
by Bob Adam
July 1st was a good day at the Del Mar Fair Livestock Show for Julian Future Farmers and the Julian Chapter of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) did vary well indeed as livestock Judges awarded four Class and Best In Class Ribbons to the "white pants/ blue jacketed" kids from Julian. Winners in Market Lamb Showings that day include Ray Rapu, Julian Chapter President and San Diego Section Treasurer (2 Super Heavyweight First In Class wins and a Super Heavyweight Champion Best In Class Ribbon), Richard Braun (Reserve Champion Lightweight Ribbon) and Sam Krieger (3rd Place Lightweight Ribbon Winner). Thanks also to Zack Schuett for his efforts in stock raising and showing. Animal showing as well as prize awards would continue throughout the Fair for the full range of livestock, many raised by Julian FFA members, that would show well and bring rewards. FFA members would also construct an award winning Landscape Exhibit at the Garden Show Pavilion containing donated items from many Julian yards. It was worth seeing what these young people had done and the great time they had creating it together. Dedicated Chapter Advisor Dale Fullerton smiled broadly that day as the wins came home for the "young stockmen." As Dale often says, FFA is "not just about Cows and Ploughs. We teach responsibility, leadership and small business skills designed to make our kids better citizens." The Julian Chapter of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) has been active for an amazing 56 years, encouraging youth, building character and the teaching valuable adult as well as citizenship skills through agriculture project management. Successful completion of such projects emphasizes commitment and responsibility, often resulting in profitable livestock auction for the FFA member if the stock places well in the shows. By the way, FFA is coed, with many successful young women also raising and showing stock as well as demonstrating the true family partnership present in small agricultural businesses, Dale is particularly proud of his Chapter's accomplishments. Most other community chapters are sponsored by much larger schools from heavily populated San Diego County or community areas. These chapters often enjoy heavy financial subsidies and corporate support. This requires extraordinary efforts on the part of Julian Chapter members to do more with less and to be as successful as they are. Each member takes on a year-long project consisting of fmancial management of a loan for stock purchase, fund raising and daily animal care, feeding, cleanup and showing for market auction. All project stock such as cattle, sheep, pigs, goats and poultry is raised for market auction sufficient to hopefully repay loans and animal care expenses. Any profits realized are used by the members for future education, or reinvested in the next year's project. These hard working, responsible and motivated young people as well as their parents deserve your support and generosity. Our congratulations to the Julian FFA Chapter, our young Future Farmers and leaders and special thanks to Mr. Dale Fullerton for his encouragement of these fine young people.
