The South Central FFA Chapter sent a team of five members on November 19 to participate in the Section 19 Agronomy Career Development Event, held at Lakeland College in Mattoon.

South Central’s Agronomy team spent hours practicing during the weeks leading up to the event. The contest requires students to identify weeds, crops, insects, and equipment, while also judging corn and soybeans based on their suitability for use as livestock feed and seed.

The South Central FFA Agronomy Team took 4th place in the event. Team members, left to right, are River Yingst, Derek Engel, Andrew Reynolds, Lucas Curry, and Kiera Cowger.
