Ag Sales was a new contest for Chadron this year. The team consisted of Billy Tidyman, Joe Matt, Dadi Serres, and True Thorne. They dared to go where no team has gone before. We are very proud of them for trying something new.
Chadron should be very proud of these individuals as they continue to learn a great deal about the many facets in the field of agriculture. Our next contest will be in Gordon in February. We look forward to participating in the upcoming contests. To name a few; Vet Science, AG Mechanics, Food Sciences, and Envirothon. We hope to continue to qualify more CHS FFA members for the Nebraska State FFA Convention in Lincoln, NE this April. Our chapter is learning a lot, having fun, and making new friends along the way. We really appreciate the community supporting our chapter.
