The four, Sophia Shannon, Amarah Shannon, Kelsey Thompson and Kylee Reeves are all in Agricultural Communications. βIt is always an exciting time of year when the FFA corduroy jackets descend on Indianapolis for the National FFA Convention,β said Don Lamb, director of the Indiana State Department of Agriculture. βI recognize the many hours of preparation the students put into being able to compete at the national convention, and I get energized by seeing the passion Hoosier FFA students and their advisors display. I know Indiana has a bright future ahead.β Students will be competing in career leadership events such as Environment and Natural Resources, Forestry, Veterinary Science, Floriculture, and among other events. Others will be competing in leadership development events such as Extemporaneous Public Speaking, Agricultural Issues Forum and Creed Speaking. ### |
