Arcanum FFA Members receive State Recognition
Even though the 2019-2020 school year ended virtually and many events
were cancelled or moved to a virtual format the Arcanum MVCTC FFA
Members were still able to earn recognition at the state FFA level.
Typically the Ohio FFA recognizes members during their State Convention
held at the end of the school year but this year the awards went
virtual and other events were rescheduled and were held virtually over
the summer.
The first area of recognition were members that placed in the top 10 in Ohio FFA Career Development Events.
The Agricultural Technology and Mechanical Systems Team placed 6th in
Ohio. The team members completed an online problem solving test
followed by a hands on competition which included electrical wiring,
welding, and equipment operation. Team members were Blayne Hess, Cole
Besecker, Brody Williams, and Isaac Smith.
The Grain Merchandising Team placed 9th in the State. Team members
completed an online test of market trends, puts and calls, and other
grain market problem solving. The team qualified for an in person
presentation that was cancelled which resulted in the online test score
being the official placing. Team members were Isaac Smith, Brody
Williams, Luke Brinksneader, and Anna Loxley.
The Farm Business Management Team placed 4th in Ohio. The team
completed an online test which included problems solving and general
knowledge on typically ag business and farm business decisions. The top
4 scorers on the team were Cael Gostomsky, Cory Ross, Blayne Hess and
Andrew Kimball.
The Agricultural Mechanics Skills Team placed 6th in Ohio. The Ag
Mechanics Skills Contest was part of the virtual makeup contest over
the summer. The members completed an online test over typical ag
mechanics problems and tool identification. The team members were Cael
Gostomsky, Braden Garbig and Blayne Hess.
The job of an FFA Chapter Officer is never done. Officers are
responsible for leading the chapter but also to check track of chapter
activities and finances. There are 3 officers that submit officer books
to the state for evaluations. All three of the books from Arcanum were
scored Gold Rated. Gold Rated Officer Books were submitted by Madelyn
Fearon - Treasurer, Maggie Weiss - Reporter, and Landon Haney -
Secretary.
The last set of Ohio FFA Recognition was for members that attained the
Ohio FFA State Degree. The State FFA Degree is the highest honor that
the Ohio FFA can bestow on a member and encourages students to grow and
achieve personally toward establishing themselves in an agriculture
career. To earn the State Degree members must have participated in a
set number of FFA Activities and Competitions as well as to reach
minimum standards in their Supervised Agricultural Experiences. Arcanum
MVCTC FFA had Six members attain this lofty goal in 2020. Those
members earning the Ohio FFA State Degree were Raymond Denniston, Laney
Fourman, Gracie Garno, Anna Loxley, Emily Wenning, and Isaac Smith.
Congratulations to all the members that made the best of an interesting
2019-2020 School Year to achieve great success in the Ohio FFA.
