State FFA Convention
April 10, 2017
The Johnson County Central FFA Chapter attended the 89th Nebraska FFA State Convention in Lincoln on April 5-7, 2017. The convention was held at Pinnacle Bank Arena, around the Haymarket and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln East Campus. Nineteen JCC and J-B students attended this year's convention.
Marissa Borrenpohl received her State FFA Degree, presented in the last session of the convention. The State FFA Degree is the highest degree the state association can bestow upon a member. Each year members are awarded the degree based upon their comprehensive Supervised Agricultural Experience Program. FFA members must submit two years of SAE record books, complete the State FFA Degree application and meet all minimum qualification as well as pass a test in order to be awarded the State FFA Degree.
The Livestock Management Team finished in 3rd Place in Poultry. The team included Connor Bartels, Schyler DeFreece, Nick Goracke, Angelica Wellman and Emily Oestmann.
The Johnson County Central FFA Chapter also was presented with the NIFA Governor's Award of Excellence for 2017. These awards honor and financially reward 4-H Clubs and FFA Chapters each year for outstanding performance.
