Across the region, the annual Future Farmers of America Ham, Bacon, and Egg auctions serve as a showcase for the hard work of young farmers and a means to fund their future aspirations. The auctions feature the results of high school livestock projects: the top hams, sides of bacon, and dozens of eggs produced by students. Monies earned from the auction are frequently used by FFA students to help pay for college. Which is why the president of WVU Potomac State College, Dr. Jerry Wallace, had a bidder's number at several of these local fundraisers.
