Several local FFA students recently received multiple honors at the 94th Kansas FFA Convention, which took place June 1-3 on the Kansas State Campus in Manhattan. Paola FFA members Seth Aistrup, Hayley Hines and Gus Wright were named State Champions in the Marketing Plan Category. Team members had to develop and deliver a marketing plan for a local agriculture business. It was the second year in a row Paola won the event.
For Osawatomie, Grace Young made history at the State Convention, becoming the first Osawatomie FFA member to win the State Agricultural Education Proficiency Award. Young received the award for outstanding accomplishments she has made in developing programs that will prepare her for a career in agriculture. Congratulations to all the FFA members.
