Fairfield FFA member Adam Berwanger was a top four state finalist for his Diversified Crop Production Proficiency. He will interview at the end of March to finalize his placing in this division. In his project Berwanger managed about 41 acres of hay, wheat and beans for resale. He purchased the seed, planted it, performed all the fertilization and spraying, then harvested and resold the crops. His overall career goal is to be a full-time farmer. This project has been ongoing since the start of his high school career and is still active. Berwanger will find out at the Ohio FFA State Convention this May what his final placing will be and if his application will move on to the national level.

0

This year many Hillsboro FFA members competed in the ag sales contest. They took a preliminary online test with the top four test scores moving onto the district competition at Blanchester High School. After the test, Hillsboro’s team was third in the district and their test scores carried on to the next part of the contest. At the district contest they had to go into a sales meeting where they were required to come up with questions to ask their client based on a scenario. After that the team had to split into individual sales meetings with different clients. This year the team’s scenario was to sell multiple utility and gooseneck trailers as well as attachments. The team members had to build rapport with the customers, determine their wants and needs, and match a product to the customers’ situation. The team finished fourth in the district. The ag sales team members are pictured (l-r) Alex McClarren, Carter Boyd, Corbin Winkle and Addyston Knauff.
