COLUMBIA,  SC….Samuel  Hall,  a  junior  at   York  Comprehensive  High School,  has   been  selected  as   a   Merrill-Lynch  YOUNG  ENTREPRENEUR  in  South  Carolina   by  the  SC  Council  on  Economic  Education  for  2004.

Samuel  and  his parents, Mr.  and Mrs. Bob  Hall,  owners  and  operators  of   the   Bush-N-Vine  Farm  near York, are  well  known  for  their   production  and  marketing  of   fresh-from-the-field   strawberries.  “We  expect  to  have  fresh  strawberries  available  at  our  Certified  Roadside   Market, 1650  Filbert  Road  between  York  and  Clover,  until  Christmas,”  Samuel  said. 

A   member   of   the Floyd  D.  Johnson  Technology  Center  Future  Farmers  of   America (FFA)  Chapter  where  he  serves  as   vice  president,  Samuel  was   nominated  for   the  Young  Entrepreneur  Award   by  John  W.  Parris,  State  Director  of  Public  Affairs  with  the  SC  FFA  Association.

Helen  Meyers,  Executive  Director   of   the   Council   on  Economic  Education   said  Samuel  was  selected   for   this  prestigious  honor  because  of   his   success  in   specialty  crop  production  such  as  fresh  strawberries  at  this  time  of  the  year. 

South  Carolina  ETV  officials   and  Ms.  Meyers  recently   video  taped   an  interview  with  Samuel  to  be  shown  on   SC  ETV’s  Instructional  Channel  317  to  schools  throughout  the  state   December  3  at  8:30  AM.

Frank  Sandifer, Agricultural Education  Teacher  at  the Floyd  D. Johnson  Technology  Center,  is   Samuel’s   FFA   advisor.

The  mission  of  the  FFA  is  to  make  a  positive  difference  in  the  lives  of  students  by  developing  their  potential  for  premier  leadership,  personal  growth  and  career  success  through  agricultural  education.
