Brett Robberts and Brady Williams participated in the Farm Business Management test with Robberts receiving a Gold rating and Williams receiving a Silver rating. Austin Wagaman competed in the Arc Welding contest and Caleb Nordyke competed in the Oxy-Acetylene Welding contest, with both receiving Bronze ratings.
Because each speaking contest area placed in the top three at Sub-District competition, those members have advanced in their respective contests to district competition that will be held at the Southwest District Convention at Panorama High School in Panora on March 3. Members who place either first or second in their contest areas at the district level will compete against others from the other five FFA districts in the state of Iowa at the State FFA Leadership Conference in Ames on April 23-24.
