(Photos not used in articles or chapter histories, from around the country)
The above photo is believed to be accurate. From 1979 to 2015 John Deere presented a belt buckle to each of the contestants of the National Farm Business Management CDE (various titles over the years).
All of the above buckles except the top row have FFA and the year of competition stamped on the buckle.
Of the five in the top row, the Tulare Hitchcock FFA Chapter has verified that they recieved the top row middle
buckle in 1981.
