The Region VI FFA interviews were held on Wednesday, February 16 for Proficiency Award Applicants.
Agricultural Proficiency Awards honor FFA members who, through supervised agricultural experiences, have developed specialized skills that they can apply toward their future careers.
Nationally, students can compete for awards in nearly 50 areas ranging from agricultural communications to wildlife management. Proficiency awards are also recognized at local and state levels and provide recognition to members that are exploring and becoming established in agricultural career pathways.
Five Sleepy Eye members completed Proficiency Applications. The Region VI results were:
Morgan Hoffmann – 1st place in Ag. Communications
Emma Fischer – 1st place in Dairy Production Placement
Jake Price – 1st place in Landscape Management
Adam Johnson – 1st place in Poultry Production
Isaac Lendt – 1st place in Swine Production Entrepreneurship
The Proficiency Applications will now go to the state level and the State Proficiency Judging will take place in March.
