Our main goal as an organization is to care for the youth interested in a future in agriculture. We believe that the best way to succeed in the future is to be educated in the past. By having an understanding of how farming was done in the past, it can help future generations improve upon what the countless generations have put into place to feed the growing worlds population.

The Echoes of the Past takes great pride in how we care about our youth. We actively raise funds throughout the year to support them through our Local 4-H clubs and FFA Chapters.

• Aug 25 – Ramsomware Attacks – Mark Marley
