FFA Contests
*Members are encouraged to participate in at least one of these contests throughout the year. These contests are designed to stimulate thinking and are great applicators to the real world, but overall they are fun and allow students to represent the talent of the Maroa-Forsyth FFA chapter. More information about each contest is available in the Ag room. If interested, sign up when sign-ups are available/posted. Thank you for your participation!
