Things, Ideas & People . . .

Something very neat and nice happened to those attending the Scobey at Fairview football game Friday, September 25. As fans were paying their way into Starr Field and being handed a program, there were some high-school-aged females there as well. They, too, were handing out something — free meat sticks to anyone who wanted one. I received a Sweet BBQ smoked snack stick. Pasted on the package were these words: HERE’S THE BEEF: you’d starve without agriculture! Supporting current and future farmers, Fairview FFA. In case you don’t know FFA stands for Future Farmers of America and, in case you don’t know, Scobey High School does not have a FFA chapter. For a community based on agriculture, and prides itself of that fact, doesn’t it seem strange there is not a Future Farmers of America group here in Scobey? And please, don’t say we can’t afford it. — mike   ...
