FFA recognizes students in forty-eight different areas based on
their work-based learning or Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAE).
FFA members who demonstrate outstanding agricultural skills and
competencies through record keeping, leadership, and scholastic
achievement may be considered for this award.
SAEs allow students to learn by doing by either owning and operating
an agricultural business, working or serving an internship at an
agriculture-based business or conducting an agriculture-based
scientific experiment and reporting results.
Josh was selected as the District 3 Winner by a committee of
agriculture industry representatives and teachers knowledgeable in
this work-based area.
Receiving this honor now makes Josh eligible to compete in the State
FFA Awards Selection process in Decatur on Saturday, March 25, 2023.
Josh was previously chosen as the Chapter and Section awardee of
this area.
Josh has
been involved in agriculture education and FFA activities including
meat judging, soil evaluation, agricultural sales, and agronomy.
Josh will receive plaques for his accomplishments. These plaques are
made possible by gifts by individuals, businesses, corporations and
organizations through the Illinois Foundation FFA.
Allie Bode is the agriculture teacher and FFA Advisor at Lincoln
Community High School.
