History: FFA in the News

ISSUE OF NOV. 4, 1965

Litchfield Independent Review

Last spring Joe Duncomb, ag instructor at LHS, distributed some pumpkin seeds to his “greenhands” freshmen members of the FFA with the idea of staging a contest in the fall to see who had grown the largest pumpkin. The winner was Gordon Seiffert who raised a monster that was over five feet in circumference. He planted the seeds in June and used plenty of fertilizer to grow his prize.
