McPherson County FFA members had the opportunity to tour the Hudl facility and learn about the business structure, careers, and the company inception. They learned the connection FFA has on their future career choice, even if it isn't an ag-based career. A few skills that are valuable and gained from being a member of the FFA are teamwork, communications, human relations, and social interaction.
McPherson County FFA members Brooklynn Fisher, Rachael Kemp and Saije Phelps participated in the penpal connect event. Throughout the year, students wrote letters to Omaha Bryan FFA members to learn about the agriculture in their area. Unfortunately, the Postal Service provided challenges for our letter exchanges. However, this is a great opportunity to network with other FFA members and learn about agriculture across the state including urban and rural agriculture. They also were able to learn about the variability in school and chapter sizes.
The McPherson County FFA started the 2024 State FFA Convention watching other chapters competing in the LDE Ag Demo! This opportunity allowed our students to see other chapters who excelled and gain ideas for next year's competition as well as see what it takes to make it to the next level.
The purpose of agricultural demonstration is to develop the ability of FFA members to accurately explain a process that addresses a current agricultural industry practice, procedure, need, issue or focus. Students must demonstrate the skills required in the process while making a verbal presentation.
The Junior class will leave the school at 7:30am (upon arrival of the bus) Monday morning. Sports participants will be dropped off at Stapleton for practice on the way back to Tryon in the afternoon. Students need to remember to bring their job shadow packets with them.
