FFA WEEK 2011: WEDNESDAY

Today, Bridgeport FFA members met and prepared breakfast for the faculty and staff at BHS.  Teachers were challenged to guess how many people were involved in their breakfast from farm to fork!  Many guesses came in, but Mr. Dickinson wins the award for his response: "THOUSANDS".  That's right Mr. Dickinson...in our breakfast of sausage egg and cheese burrito's on flour tortillas with salsa, there were literally thousands of people involved in the production, marketing, processing, distribution and sales of those products!  Remember agriculture is the largest supplier of careers in the United States with over 21 percent of our nations workforce coming from agriculture.
