Summerland FFA chapter had numerous members compete at state FFA events this year. Events were held virtually at the end of March and beginning of April.
Levi Cronk and Carlee Livingston qualified for state in junior public speaking and discovery speaking, earning a bronze medal and silver medal, respectively.
Also qualifying for state was the ag sales team of Cronk, Morgan Erhardt, Avery Cheatum and Larissa Thomson. Cheatum was not able to compete at state, so Collin Mullins filled in.
Cronk finished 31st, earning a blue ribbon, and Erhardt finished 34th, earning a red ribbon.
Members also had the opportunity to compete in non-qualifying contests at state.
Cronk earned a blue ribbon and finished 45th in the farm and agribusiness management contest. Dillon Moser received a red ribbon in the meats contest.
Also competing were Ashley Melcher and Cody Wickersham in agriscience; Cronk, Moser, Trevor Thomson and Logan Mueller in agronomy; Madison Melcher, Moser and Mueller in farm and agribusiness management and Tessa Peed, Ty Rix and Erhardt in meats.
Although the Nebraska State FFA Convention was moved to an all virtual format this year, Summerland FFA was able to gather at the District 4 Non-State Convention, put on by the Pierce FFA Alumni, in Norfolk last week. Activities included keynote speakers, a movie viewing, career fair and awards ceremony.
