Two views of the County Fair
For the last three years I have been an active member of the Bonners Ferry FFA Chapter. When I first became a member, I was basically drop kicked out of my comfort zone and into public speaking competitions, livestock judging CDE’s, and vet science practicums. It was nerve wracking in the beginning, but after the first time speaking in front of a panel of judges, I realized how much I actually enjoyed it. I had always been fine with public speaking, and some part of me had always liked talking in front of audiences, but when it came to competing in that area, I felt a little overwhelmed. There was a lot of pressure on me because I wasn’t just competing for myself, but my entire chapter was counting on me. My first competition that involved public speaking was the Creed Speaking CDE. I had to recite all five paragraphs of the FFA Creed in front of three judges and then answer questions pertaining to what I had just said. Unfortunately, I didn’t score as well as I had been hoping and I placed seventh out of 12. But, thanks to the persuasion and tremendous support from my FFA advisory Julie Smith, I didn’t quit and went on a few years later to become the second place winner of the North Idaho District Prepared Public Speaking CDE. Seeing where I started and then looking at what I’ve accomplished along the way gives me such confidence and satisfaction because I never would have seen myself learning and doing as much as I have without organizations like the FFA. After 3 years of being a member and attending huge events such as the State Leadership Conference in Boise, Idaho and the National FFA Convention all the way in Indianapolis, Indiana, I’ve realized that this isn’t just another organization, it’s one big family spread out across 50 states and a few islands. Everyone who wears a blue corduroy jacket with the FFA Emblem on the front and their home chapter on the back knows that FFA and the agriculture industry is more than just cows and plows, it’s a lifestyle and a community that is connected on a national level. To participate and be a member of such a prestigious organization is such an honor and I have nothing but positive things to say about the FFA. I enjoy every moment when I’m wearing my blue and gold attire, and although I’m going to miss being in FFA after I graduate in two years, I will be just as honored to be an FFA Alumni member.

Agriculture in Boundary County: Dedication program and panel 7
A dedication program was held at the Boundary County Museum on June 9, to present the historic interpretive signs funded in part through an Idaho Humanities Council Grant, featuring the history of farming in the Kootenai Valley and the Bench Land. Guests enjoyed a brief video presentation which included the Merle Olsen ranch on the Deep Creek Loop, Elk Mountain Hops Farm near Porthill, the Dallas Amoth Farm, and Young Living Enterprises at Highland Flats. A few quotable quotes warmed up the crowd and put them into storytelling mode, and attendees were encouraged to relay a story or two from personal experience. These ranged from a history of at least one family farm dating back to the Dust Bowl Days, to humorous anecdotes from a former County Extension Agent. Stories of amusing grain hauling trips, growing up and working on family farms, and various other recollections brought the past into the present with an abundance of laughter and lively discussion. The group then took a field trip to the back entrance of the Museum building to view the newly installed panels.
