Congratulations to the Paola High School FFA Chapter. They competed in the Kansas FFA Career Development events recently. For the sixth time in the last 10 years and the 13th time overall, Paola was named State Champions in Farm Business Management. The event requires that students be able to interpret and use financial documents, such as balance sheets, income statements, cash flow and budgets, then, answer questions about the documents. They also answer questions about basic financial and economic concepts that impact agriculture, including marketing, efficiency and business organization, according to the release.
Team members were Rylan Armbruster, Seth Aistrup, Alea Russell and Ben Timpe. Their coach is John Menefee. The team members will now compete at the National FFA Convention and EXPO this Fall.
