ACA VP: 'Youth programs important'
"We are doing a lot for youth at the state level," he said. "The state checkoff funds are used to fund youth programs. I commend what you are doing in this county to support these programs here in Washington County." Powell went on to point out that a total of 30 agriculture-related scholarships were awarded last year. "These young people are the future of this industry," he added.
"Cattle prices have had a good run for a number of years now," said Powell. He pointed out that recently, the cost of production has been affected by the price of oil, but the demand for beef is still strong. "Our nutritional marketing program has made great strides in the promotion of our product," he said. Election of officers During the meeting, the WCCA elected its officers for 2008. Layman Philips was named the organization's new president. Tommy Fuller was named first vice president. Carlton Butts, who was president in 2007, will serve as second vice president.
