Arcanum MVCTC FFA Wins State Grain Merchandising Contest
Arcanum MVCTC FFA members recently competed in the Ohio FFA Grain
Merchandising Contest. The purpose of the Grain Merchandising
Contest is to stimulate interest in the area of grain merchandising and
to make students aware of the complex decision-making process
associated with merchandising agricultural products. Arcanum MVCTC FFA
members, Isaac Smith, Luke Brinksneader, Brody Williams, Landon Haney
and Anna Loxley, completed the online test contest on January 26th.
During the online contest students were given 50 general knowledge
questions about Grain Merchandising and 10 problem solving questions.
The questions included puts, calls, basis, hedging and other grain
merchandising scenarios. Team member Isaac Smith stated
“Participating in the Grain Merchandising CDE has been a fun event to
participate in with my peers who have common interests as myself, also
learning grain marketing strategies that I will use in my agricultural
career for the rest of my life.”
The Arcanum MVCTC FFA Team was 1st in Ohio with the following team
members placing as individuals in the state: Isaac Smith 4th, Luke
Brinksneader 10th, Brody Williams 12th.
Landon Haney said “During my last 3 years competing in contests through
FFA, this is no doubt the hardest! Hats off to my team and coach on
working to become #1 in the state. The amount of effort each of us put
in to prepare was evident we wanted to win. This skill will live with
my team and me throughout our future farming careers!”
The team members would like to thank Janelle Brinksneader for coaching
the team. The Team will be recognized with the 1st place banner at the
2021 Ohio FFA State Convention.
