FFA ORGANIZATION The FFA is a national organization of students enrolled in high school vocational agriculture classes. The local unit is the chapter in each high school offering vocational agriculture, under the supervision of the agriculture teacher who is always the chapter advisor. The State unit includes all chapters in the State, under the supervision of the State Department of Education as represented by the Bureau of Agricultural Education with its headquarters at the State Education Building, Sacramento, California.

The national unit is the group of associations in each state and Puerto Rico, under the supervision of the Agricultural Education Division of the U.S. Office of Health, Education and Welfare, Washington, DC. (Every FFA project in livestock, poultry, fruit or crops is a part of the practical education of the vocational agriculture student who owns it.)

The program includes the improvements of agriculture, leading ultimately to the ownership of the agriculture enterprises and the development of good citizenship. Participation in fairs and livestock shows is recognized as having educational value as well as stimulation for better results and finer projects, under supervision of the qualified chapter advisor and with the cooperation of the Fair Management.

4-HYOUTH 4-H Youth programs are non-formal, voluntary educational programs, open to all youth, without regard to race, color or creed, not connected with the public school system, under the supervision of the Cooperative Extension Service of the University of California and United States Department of Agriculture. They are a part of Extension teaching.

The projects exhibited at Fairs by members of these groups are the result of their efforts under the supervision of volunteer adults.

Youth & Teen Department

GENERAL INFORMATION 1. Restricted to children ages 5 to 17 years of age and/or 4-H

Member to age 19. 2. Placer County residents only. 3. Exhibits produced by youth exhibitors while enrolled

or participating in 4H, FFA or any other junior farm organization programs are allowed to exhibit within the Youth & Teen Department.

4. Each entry in these divisions shall have been made, collected or produced by the exhibitor not more than one year prior to opening day of the Fair. Use the Junior Department Entry Form.

5. State, local rules and score cards apply to all entries in corresponding Adult Departments and shall be used unless otherwise specified in the Youth & Teens Department.

6. Exhibitors must check carefully for size restrictions and any other "limits" particular to a division.

7. JUDGING: At every opportunity the value of the blue ribbon should be stressed. The blue ribbon represents, or should represent, the perfection for which the Youth & Teen exhibitors are striving with their projects. The educational and moral value of achieving this perfection should result in a future economic return which will be far greater than the immediate return in the form of cash awards. DANISH JUDGING SYSTEM will be used for exhibitors ages 5 thru 18 in all contests. It is based upon established standards of quality for each type of product. In this system each exhibit is judged according to how well it meets that standard rather than how it compares with other exhibits. The following guidelines shall be used by the judge(s): Quality Score Ribbon 1st Place - Superior 90%-100% Blue 2nd Place - Good 80%-89% Red 3rd Place -Average 70%-79% White

8. All entry forms must be signed by a parent or guardian.
