FFA and Vocational Agriculture Career Development Events are heating up!  These students will be hitting the road and competitions hot and heavy the next three weeks!  Remember that practice times run in three time slots per day-- 6-8am, 3:30-5:30pm or 5:30 to 7:30 pm.   Each student must complete the required hours of practice to be eligible for District Contest.  "Day 1" of District Contest will be Tuesday, March 30 for Livestock, Poultry, Horses, Agronomy, and Entomology.  "Day 2" of
District Contest will be Thursday, April 1 for Agriculture Mechanics, Forestry, Meats, Dairy Cattle, Knowledge, Creed, and Speeches.
 (I attempted on the calendar to mark which teams are traveling to practice contests.  Compare that information with the team members listed below.  Departure times will be updated as we near the competition date.)
