Centre FFA members participated in the South Central District Poultry Evaluation and Agronomy career events March 27 in Marion.

First-year member Quinten Bina placed 18th in the poultry Greenhand division. They evaluated live production hens, chicken products, and interior and exterior quality of eggs. They also identified parts of a chicken and took a written exam.

Centre led the agronomy contest. The Greenhand team of Quinten Stuchlik, Tanner Stuchlik, Emily Casey, Kyle Peterson, Alex Remmers, and Mikey Silhan placed fourth as a team. Participants identified plants and seeds, analyzed seeds, graded grain, and took an agronomic calculations quiz.
