National FFA released the list of National Finalists for Proficiencies, Agriscience Fair and the National Chapter Contest on Friday, August 3.  We are pleased to announce that one of our own is a National Finalists from Kentucky:

Proficiency Finalists

Brent Moore- Garrard County- Agricultural Mechanics Repair and Maintenance Entrepreneurship

Jonah Brannon- Calloway County- Agricultural Services

Tricia Childress- Hart County- Home and Community Development

Joza Mikalcik- Calloway County- Nursery Operations

Each of these members will represent Kentucky at the National FFA Convention in October. 

We are so proud of Tricia, she will be interviewing with 12-15 agriculturists. This is related to her Supervised Agriculture Experience Program. At the conclusion of this interview she will also interview for an all expense paid trip to Ireland. The interview will take place during National FFA Convention in October and she will be on stage in Lucas Oil Stadium which will also air live on RFD-TV. 

Congratulations to Tricia and best of luck!

Registration for the September ACT test is now open!

The Kentucky Department of Agriculture will award ten scholarships (two per specie) to high school seniors and college students, and/or those seeking post-secondary education (i.e. technical, vocational, junior college) for the current year. If two per specie cannot be met, then scholarships will come from an “at-large” category based on scores. Scholarships may be applied towards tuition, housing, books and other educational expenses. Payments will be made directly to the recipient. A $500 cash award will be presented at the Kentucky Youth Livestock Points Banquet on September 22, 2018.
