The school I used to teach at would not allow it. Said it would disrupt the flow of traffic and cause other concerns- in reality just another way to strangle the VO AG department. If the band would have wanted to walk to school in the middle of traffic playing a tune they would have recieved a full endorsement. If the spanish club wanted to ride burros to school-just fine. And so on. Ultimately their goal was to dismantle and undermine the effectiveness of the program, hence eliminating salaries, associated costs, and freeing up facilities for more favored programs. To put it in a farmers perseptive it would be like having 20 calves in a dry lot-feeding them one bale of hay a day then complaining about a lack of daily gain-then selling calves. The local program is currently suffering under 1- a 27 year veteran who refuses to change and by complacency is allowing the program to die-fits into hands of school board, 2-a local farm bureau that is totally inactive and lacks a guided philosphy of vo ag, 3-a superintendant who is ag illterate and is glad to see the program go-does not fit into his concept of a school program-his words "no interest in agriculture anymore, students do not need agriculture instruction, does not fit into total school program", 4-a high school principal who parrells the superintendant and is basically a lacky for his boss, 5-a counselor who openly discriminates against agriculture when scheduling classes, 6-an agriculture community whos leadership is excessively weak and wants the local vo-ag program to work for them instead of wanting to support the program, 7-school codes and policies that when enforced alienates students and decreases enrollment, in essence destroying electives especially when required course teachers do not enforce those codes. No tractors needed at this school district-they have Kroger

I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p
