Herbert Blum Influences the FFA


Herbert Brum
Interest in expanding vocational agriculture from farming preparation only to an all-agriculture concept developed in the mid 50s. A pilot program in horticulture was established in 1956 at Xenia and in 1957 Dr. Herbert Brum completed major study that revealed a valid need for specialized instruction in off-farm agricultural occupations. These pioneering activities helped point the way to major program expansion in the 60s.
