Johnson Young Farmer Program This program is designed to meet the needs of the young farmer who is attempting to establish himself in the business of farming, and to aid in acquiring skills and understanding which will help him to make satisfactory progress in farming. During the spring and autumn, instruction is given at the individual farm of the young farmer. The practical farm work is thus coordinated with laboratory and classroom studies. Special farm visits are part of the total program. A Master Farmer Certificate is offered to those who qualify. The candidate for this certificate shall (1) have been regularly registered in the Young Farmer Program in Vocational Agriculture; (2) have completed at least six credit hours of class instruction each year for five years, with not more than fifteen credit hours in Farm Mechanics; and (3) have completed any additional requirements prescribed by the Advisory and Curriciulum committees. See Vocational Agriculture in Life Science Division of Evening School Section for additional courses. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION Farm Mechanics 51. Farm Woodwork.
