10 receive state FFA degrees

Ten Marion County students received state FFA degrees last week at a convention in Manhattan.

To receive state degrees, students must have been in FFA members and agricultural education for two years, earned $2,000, or worked 600 hours in a supervised agricultural experience, given a six-minute speech, participated in eight leadership activities, maintained a “C” or better grade average, and demonstrated leadership and community involvement.

Winners from Marion County include:

Centre — Julia Brunner and Kyle Peterson.

Goessel — Colton Brock, Caleb Burkholder, Sam Herrel, Justin Nickel, Patrick Rust, and Jake Wiens.

Peabody-Burns — Weston Gaines and Alex Young.
