FFA members from around the country. Through the restoration of an
antique tractor, participants develop skills applicable to the modern
business world. The skills needed for success in the program ? equipment
maintenance, teamwork, project management, budgeting, planning and
marketing ? help develop the participants into future leaders in the
agriculture community.

'Dedication, perseverance and teamwork are extremely important in life
and business,? said Channing Reeder, indirect channel marketing
specialist, Lubricants Marketing Americas, Chevron Products Company.
'Being part of a program that encourages so many teens to exemplify
these traits is very rewarding for everyone at Chevron. We congratulate
all the 2011 Delo Tractor Restoration Competition finalists and the
family, friends, teachers and community that helped them along the way.?
