The Baker FFA Chapter is proud to have two teams competing
at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, IN Oct. 24-27. The Chapter’s
Agricultural Mechanics team, consisting of Cameron Kerns, Joel Rohner, Talon
Colton, Mark Voboril and Mickayla Hall, swept their District and State
competetitions this spring and are ready to take on the nation next week! These
five individuals had to display their knowledge of agricultural equipment,
welding and safety. This contest helps students develop proficiency in a broad
range of mechanical skills which are essential on a farm or ranch.
Baker will also be sending Wyatt Lee, Kellie Freels, Jennie
Foltz and Luke Coomer to the inaugural Veterinary Science contest. These four
will identify veterinary instruments, breeds of dogs, horses, poultry, goats,
beef and dairy cattle, sheep, cats, rodents and other miscellaneous pets,
conduct clinical practices, solve math practicums, demonstrate their knowledge
of various knots and come together to complete a team presentation. The team is
one of two Oregon teams and has been studying hard since this spring and will
also be required to conduct a workshop at the 2013 Oregon FFA State Convention.
Selected from the Baker FFA Veterinary science class, these individuals are
excited to help pilot this new contest!
There is a hum of excitement running through the Baker FFA
Chapter as the date for our departure draws near. We will have a week of
touring the country, making new friends and catching up with old ones, building
our teamwork and leadership and representing Oregon at the largest youth leadership
gathering in the world!
Have a nice day!
