March 30, 2009
Members of the Diller-Odell FFA Chapter participated in the district agricultural skills contests hosted by Southeast Community College and took first in district 7 in the areas of Agriculture Mechanics, Junior Livestock Selection, Junior Livestock Management, and Meat Identification. The events provide a meaningful connection between what is learned in the classroom and through the student’s supervised agricultural experience program with the opportunity to demonstrate the students’ skills and abilities. The events expose students to various careers in agriculture, and help develop transferable skills. The members participating and results were:
Ag Mechanics, first place team; Andy Adam, 1st individual score; Ethan Weers, blue; Quint Bolejack, blue; Colton Rupprecht, red:
