The information revealed by the national study has several implications for chapters that need to expand the benefits of membership to more vocational agriculture students. A reasonable question to ask at this point might be, "What can I do for my chapter to extend the benefits of FFA leadership and citizenship to additional vocational agriculture students at my school?" As we examine the responses of these students, we find several clues that can help us formulate policies, plan programs, and implement activities that will attract more and more people. The mini-chapters are organized by regular classes (vo-ag I, II, etc.) and specialized classes (ag mechanics, horticulture, and others).
The entire chapter makes the final decision on the activities that will be included in the annual plan. Each member of the chapter is involved in at least one permanent committee of the activity program.

Soon the menagerie grew until the need for organization was evident. Additional shelters and enclosures were built near the entrance to the ranch where everyone could stop and watch the animals. Usually two chapter members who take care of the animals, occasionally two younger guys who work in the agriculture program but aren't old enough to enroll in vo-ag at the high school on the ranch, take care of the zoo. Two of the boys decided to break the leashes of the goat and the deer, since they are sotame. Leashes were put on the deer and the goat to get them used to the feeling of wearing a leash.
They do not walk far and are often seen grazing outside the fence, standing and watching in the zoo, and have sometimes been seen grazing on the lawn of the house nearby.
