Worth County FFA Grasslands 3rd in Districts



Worth County FFA Grasslands team recently competed at District and State level competitions.  This year’s team included Chase Thummel, Brandon Allee, Sydney Thummel and Jared Simmons.  They competed at the Northwest District Grasslands contest at the Pony Express Wildlife Reserve in St. Joseph on October 4th.  The team placed 3rd the district competition and went on to compete at the State Grasslands contest in Ashland, MO on October 18th.  The Grasslands contest requires students to appraise the value of grassland areas by determining soil characteristics, evaluating wildlife capabilities, identifying species of plants present, and determining suitability for beef cattle production.
