eight members of the Central FFA participated in the Northeast District Agronomy contest at Hawkeye Tech in Waterloo. There were 80 students and 25 teams representing schools from the northeast Iowa area. Students from Central participating were Laci O., Lexi P., Brandon W., Bella M., Keaton K., Tate B., Nate S., and Nick D. The contest consists of identifying different weeds and insects as well as reading a chemical label, grading grain samples and judging hay and silage, and a general agronomy knowledge test. The highschool team ended up 5th overall and Laci O. was the high point individual out of the 80 contestants. We would like to thank Joe and Suzanne Shirbroun for all the time and effort they put in to coaching our agronomy team. We will be participating in the state contest at Iowa State University on June 20.

On May 2nd Central had 4 students interested in a career in construction trades attend the Masonry Day at Seedorf Masonry in Strawberry Point. The students went through 15 stations that ranged from basic estimating about how they bid jobs to hands on working with trowels and mortar. They all got the opportunity to lay block and brick and learned how to make sure the wall was plumb and level. The students learned a lot about masonry construction and all said they felt it was very worthwhile.
