Hillsboro FFA treats HHS staff

0

On Feb. 21 the Hillsboro FFA provided lunch for the Hillsboro High School staff in honor of National FFA Week. They put together a pork nacho line which was well received by the staff. The members put together the idea, went shopping for ingredients, made the food and set up the food line. The pork for the nachos was provided from Alex Walker. FFA members are very appreciative of the HHS staff and have learned how to serve and give back to their community. They also learned budgeting and time management when it comes to shopping and cooking the food. Pictured (l-r) are Jackson Howland, Makenna Stevens, Carter Boyd, Brayden Lane and Kelsey Brunswick.

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.
