Future Farmers of America Beanie Bear

 

An oddity, this! I found it several years ago at a fall bazaar hosted by Palos Heights' Animal Welfare League. It's a Beanie Bear produced for Future Farmers of America, a government-sponsored organization devoted to teaching American children in the ways of agricultural education.

I have NO other information about it. Perhaps it was made available as a premium at an annual convention, and this is only the 2000 edition?
