Ethan Jones competed in the Arc Welding contest, receiving a Bronze rating.

            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 Harlan High School on March 7.  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 20-21.
