Chambers FFA Kicks Off School Year With Range Board Projects

Chambers FFA created range boards to exhibit at the Nebraska FFA State Fair. Tyson Burk, Cassidy Brindisi,
Bathsheba Doty and Dawn Klabenes (pictured) along with other juniors and seniors collected native range plants to display.
 


Austen Friedrichsen earned a red ribbon at the FFA Livestock Judging held in Burwell in conjunction with Nebraska’s Big Rodeo.

As these first few weeks of school have started, our Chambers FFA has been very busy already! To start off, we gathered up various plants and had to find out their names and pedigrees. Afterwards, we made our range board with all the 15 plants we chose. We then made a trip to Grand Island on September 3rd to take our projects there and spent the day learning about agriculture at the State Fair. Purple ribbons were awarded to Dawn Klabenes and Kenade Tomjack. Blue ribbons were Bathsheba Doty, Cassidy Brindisi, Tyson Burk, Austen Friedrichsen, Ryan Koenig, Nick Haburchak, Landon Crabtree, Jordan Sterns, and Sky Bowen. And red ribbons went to Mitchell Root and Jacob Green. Congratulations to everyone! We would also like to congratulate Austen Friedrichsen for earning a red ribbon at the Burwell Livestock Judging back in July. We are looking forward to the upcoming range judging contests and other FFA meetings and events.
