Six first-year Winston FFA members had the opportunity to learn about being positive role models, getting involved, making sound choices, becoming active team members and making a positive difference in their lives, school and community at the annual Greenhand Motivational Conferences held on the North Central Missouri College Campus.
Through interactive workshops and skits, the Missouri State FFA Officers encouraged Greenhand FFA members to explore their talents and reach outside their comfort zone for the opportunities provided through FFA membership. They helped the new agriculture students set goals for their education, careers, and FFA experience.
After the conference, Winston FFA Greenhands and Advisor Mrs. Martin toured the NCMC Barton Farm Campus where the majority of the Agricultural Education classes are held. Students were led by Barton Farm mentors who briefly explained what collegiate agriculture classes entailed. NCMC Ag Educator Mr. Nowland talked with students about what employers are looking for out of their employees, and where the most jobs are in the agriculture industry.
