This bulletin is designed to help plan and conduct instructional programs for young farmers. It offers suggestions for developing close cooperation among school administrators, teachers, and farm and civic leaders of the community. Information is included in the publication to show the need and importance of a program of instruction for young farmers. The teacher of vocational agriculture is the key person in the success of the local young farmer program, but his success depends to a large degree upon support and cooperation from the school authorities. Providing educational opportunities for young farmers is an important part of the local program for vocational education in agriculture. Young farmers need agricultural instruction. They are in a position to make immediate use of the knowledge and skills which this instruction affords them. Secondary schools which have departments of vocational agriculture can find challenging opportunities to serve these young men by offering programs of instruction for them in the local community.
