I like the FFA because it's my impression that they are more about real education, trying hard to be serious about teaching the kids what real farming is all about. As opposed to 4h, where it's all about fun and games, and getting every kid a ribbon at the fair. Not that there's anything wrong with that, fun and games that is, but be honest about it. Don't try to falsely legitimize it by claiming that it's all about life lessons. There is something very wrong IMO, with giving every child in a competition a winning place.
I DO NOT like FFA for their stance on NAIS.
