Hosting 4-H and FFA members from 243 of Texas’ 254 counties, the FWSSR takes pride in providing agriculture and livestock production learning opportunities to students competing in livestock shows, judging contests and other competitions. Students have the opportunity to showcase the knowledge and skills gained through raising livestock and preparing for other competitions while competing for premium awards, scholarships and the chance to sell their animals in the Jr. Sale of Champions. Their experiences not only enlighten them on the importance of stewardship and helping feed the world, but also helps provide the resources to attend college and enter exciting career paths.
“Generations of families have competed in the Fort Worth Stock Show, and it remains a cherished rite of passage for many who plan to make agriculture a career or who want to be a part of a school’s team program,” said Stock Show President Brad Barnes. “Even after decades of being involved in this show, I remain in awe of these young people and am more convinced than ever that the agriculture and food production is truly the lifeblood of this great nation.”

January 19, 2024 - Center Garden Club met on Wednesday, January 10, 2024 at the Texas Agri-life Building. The program was presented by member Cherry Jones on the long and fascinating history of tulips.
We learned that the wild (botanical) tulip is native to Asia and made their way to Europe through trade with the Ottoman Empire. By the early 1600’s tulips became so coveted in The Netherlands that it led to an economic bubble and bust now known as Tulipomania. At the height of the frenzy one tulip sold for the equivalent of $40,000. Many Dutch investors lost fortunes comparable to the 1929 Stock Market Crash. Today in The Netherlands a much more stable tulip industry ships one billion bulbs worldwide every year.
