Ag issues team second in state    

[DEC. 9, 2003]  The Hartsburg-Emden FFA agricultural issues team recently competed at the Illinois FFA State Agricultural Issues CDE at Western Illinois University in Macomb and placed second overall. The team's issue was whether the antibiotics injected into animals affect the products that we consume.

The Hartsburg-Emden team consisted of Drew Olson, Brock Lessen, Nathan Charron, Amanda Johnson and Blaine Hellman.

FFA makes a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agriculture education.
