FFA raffle raises cash
The Idaho FFA Foundation is conducting a statewide tractor raffle to benefit the organization's members statewide.
The winning ticket will be drawn April 8 during the Idaho State FFA Leadership Conference in Twin Falls.
Tickets are $10 each for a chance to win a restored classic 1940 International Farmall H Tractor.
Canyon County farmer and Farm Bureau member Sid Freeman came up with the idea for the raffle. He and his wife, Pam, donated the tractor, and Freeman procured all of the donations to restore the tractor.
The goal is to raise $50,000 for Idaho FFA programs and college scholarships for Idaho FFA students. The local FFA chapter designated on the winning ticket will also receive a portion of the ticket proceeds.
Tickets can be purchased from Idaho FFA chapters or from the Idaho FFA Foundation by calling 208-861-2467 or e-mailing lwilder@idffafoundation.org until April 5.
Tickets will also be sold at the Idaho FFA State Leadership Conference in Twin Falls April 6-8.

Title: Significant FFA Alumni, One More Time
Just when the 503-C Tax Exempt Status is challenged, "speaking up for the FFA" with a great project like this, is appreciated! Thank you: Sid & Pam Freeman for the energy you have put into this! Where else could "everyone win" in some way when we lover both sides of the project?
