The Future Farmers of America is an American (FFA) youth organization, based on middle and high school classes that promote and support agricultural education. Over the years, they have been working to feed the world with American crops and livestock. This past week, they have focused on feeding local citizens in central Indiana and Haiti. At the National FFA Convention in Indiana, student FFA members worked to package food that would be sent to these countries. Over 500,000 meals were to be distributed to those in central Indiana and Haiti.
The importance of being a farmer here in the United States can be noticed in this article. As crop and livestock farmers, there is a consumed product made from the work that they do. This not only feeds the farmers family, but people throughout America and the whole world. Without farmers, a lot of people in the world would go starving everyday. But with their hard work and organizations like FFA, small and/or larger portions of the world can be fed.
