On Saturday 3/22, Tri-Point FFA members Mason Riebe and Kadie Hummel competed at Illinois FFA State Awards Day at Mt. Zion High School. We're proud to announce that they both received 1st place in the state in their areas and will now submit applications to be judged at the national level!
Mason's Vegetable Production SAE involves his business Mason's Peculiar Pumpkins where he grows many varieties of ornamental pumpkins and sells them locally and commercially in the fall. Kadie has 2 SAEs in the area of Goat Production; one where she raises and shows market wethers on the state and national level, and one where she works for Hummel Livestock in their goat operation. Both students had to show a significant amount of time, earnings, and skills as well as demonstrate a high level of agricultural knowledge in their areas. They will be recognized on stage at the Illinois FFA State Convention in June. Congratulations to both!
