On April 10 in Columbia, members of the Gallatin FFA Farm Management contest team took a 100-question test over commodities, exchange rates, balances sheets and more. At the end of competition the team placed fourth in the state, good enough to qualify them for a Group I Rating, the highest rating in the state. Members of the team are Jenna Rains, Cloey Waterbury, Caragan Baker, and Tristan Hamilton. Jenna Rains was named as the top individual in the entire state.
The weekend of April 17 saw two Gallatin FFA teams competing in Columbia.
The Horse Judging Team placed seventh at state, and Hadley Jumps placed third in the entire state contest, earning a Group I Rating. Team members are Hadley Jumps, Lane Dowell, Libby Endicott, and Carli Beck.
The Ag Mechanics team received a Group III rating. The team comprises Owen Waterbury, Kaydence Clevenger, Luke Johnson, and Jaden Wilson. Jaden Wilson was the team high scorer at contest.
This has been a year of big changes for FFA members across the state. In the fall, district leadership insisted that in-person competitions be held for students at the state level; through cooperation with the University of Missouri this became a reality.
