As another contest season comes has come to a close with the completion of the 90th Missouri State FFA Convention, we are very proud once again of the hard work, effort, and accomplishments of many of our teams and individuals as they excelled in their respective areas of state contest. The time and dedication these students but in to their teams was reflected, as they not only represented themselves, but their school and chapter in outstanding fashion.
