[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 769541, member: 3162"] I'm not exactly sure I understand. It may be a regional thing. Everyone in this area has been using that acronym since the 60's. I've got an old jacket from '74 when I was a member and it has an FFA acronym on the emblem. On another light, things have changed dramatically since back then. Some of the old reliable supplies have been taken off of the market. A whole lot of the maw and paw feed stores are gone and it was these folks who got you the things you wanted - and could give you advice on how to do things too. Many of the new fangled products just don't get the job done. So now you have spent your nickels on it, put in the time and/or fuel, and you haven't cured what you set out to cure. You have to get licensed for most pasture chemicals. It is just more control laid upon you. What we do have is higher quality seed - I'll give them that. There is also a terminology shift. It is almost like I don't even speak the same language with younger cattle folks these days. [/QUOTE]
