On April 1st, 1930, the Montana Association of Future Farmers of America was granted Charter Number 38 by the National Future Farmers of America Organization. The charter was signed by President Wade Turner and Executive Secretary Henry C. Groseclose. The charter chapters were: Belt Valley, Belt; Big Sandy; Big Timber; Gallatin, Bozeman; Browning; Cascade; Chinook; Teton, Choteau; Conrad; Deer Lodge; Beaverhead, Dillon; Glasgow; Wheatland, Harlowton; Highwood; Joplin; Flathead, Kalispell; Fergus, Lewistown; Manhattan; Custer, Miles City; Missoula; Moccasin; Opheim; Simms; Broadwater, Townsend; Aqua Expendo, Valier; and Whitehall. Most of the twenty-six chapters adopted a program of work and carried out an FFA program which met the approval of the National Organization. J.E. Border was instrumental in bringing the loosely organized "Ag Clubs" into the Future Farmers of America. He was the first State Advisor and served as the State Advisor until 1937. Herschel D. Hurd served as State Advisor for nine months and was replaced by A.W. Johnson in 1937.
Whitehall was one of the first Chartered Chapters in Montana, though it is believed to have been dissolved sometime in the early 1980s. WHS is excited to have the Whitehall Chapter reestablished.
