Future Farmers of America has history in Devils Lake
The Devils Lake FFA Chapter was instituted in the fall of 1937 at the new Devils Lake Central High School. Arne Kunkel was the first chapter advisor. Kunkel wrote an article in the October 21, 1937, issue of the Devils Lake Journal explaining the Smith-Hughes Act which provided assistance for vocational agriculture programs in local school districts. Kunkel dedicated a large part of his article to the “… organization called the Future Farmers of America.” The article goes on to say “Meetings are held at regular intervals, all students in agriculture taking part in discussing various problems, that is usually followed by a social program of some nature put on by the boys.” The article concludes by stating “Various community services are rendered free of charge…” Kunkel’s article certainly laid out a broad spectrum for the future members of the Devils Lake FFA Chapter!
