[QUOTE="dguess7, post: 69570, member: 585"] I need some help with our ag community. I live in a med. size rural town we have about 45 kids that are in 4-H and several that are in FFA. Most of the kids raise animals atr there own places and show at the local and county shows only. I would like to get the FFA Booster Club (Parents and Teachers) and the 4-H to start a Ag Farm. there is land avalaible at the school. We already have a nice size show barn with a nice concession area, for our local show and other events. I would also like to get the kids more involved in showing at jackpot shows and have been able to get a few to go and they are hooked on going to as many shows as possible. I would like ideas and any input that anyone has, I need to have a plan before I really start pushing for the Ag Farm I have a few people that believe that it would be a great idea and wil do what they can to support this effort. I would like to know how other schools have started this and what resources they used such as funding and how big to lay out pens. I was thinking of suggesting that the Ag-Farm charge each child that has a animal at the farm $75 to $100 per school year to help off set the water, electric and cost of pens. thanks, Dan [/QUOTE]
