FFA Results: The students had a great showing at our district CDE contests yesterday. We had many students ribbon and place individually and two teams qualified for state! There were over 600 students competing in the various contests yesterday, and only the top 50% of teams and individuals received a ribbon. Some of these contests had over 50 students competing, so if a student ribboned, they did very well!

Agronomy 1 - Josh Spray, Jackson Gerdes, Wes Biltoft, Alex Watts - 4th place/State Qualifier - all 4 boys ribboned individually Our Vet Science team was also very close to qualifying!
