Sibley East Variety Plot

Last week, several FFA Members along with the FFA Advisors planted a 7 acre corn variety plot with the help of several community members.   Land was rented from the Bruce Lilienthal Family,  School Board Member Brian Brandt supplied the tractor and planter, Tim Dolan & The Sibley County Corn Growers supplied some of the seed for the plot, and Genesis Coop provided some additional varieties.   Thanks to all who helped this plan become a reality!!!

We are looking forward to bringing students to the plot as the corn emerges and this will provide students great opportunities for hands on learning this summer and especially next fall as we near harvest.  22 varieties were planted and will be monitored by students!

State FFA Convention

22 Members went to the State FFA Convention this week and several students received awards! 

Andrew Thies and Adam Bates received plaques for their state winning proficiency applications.  Andrews was in Vegetable Production and Adams was in Equine Science!   Their applications will be sent to National FFA for review this summer and the top 4 in the nation will be asked to interview at National Convention!  Good Luck Boys!

The Farm Management Team Placed 8th in State and received a Gold rating.  Team members were Vinz Karl, Andrew Thies, and Zach Borchert.  Great job representing Sibley East FFA!
