The Mahomet-Seymour High School FFA Chapter is taking time to celebrate and highlight its members who have developed specialized agricultural skills.

On the WHOW Afternoon Farm Show Wednesday, Chapter reporter Callie Turner told Regional Radio that they had quite a few members recognized for their proficiency, including herself. 

Turner indicates that these proficiency awards will help them achieve their state degrees. This is not an easy process, as it requires multiple interviews alongside competitions against other students. 

Chapter Sentinel Isaac Burge explains that his favorite part of FFA is the broad array of topics you can dive into. He also enjoys competing in contests and growing his skills. 

The idea of FFA is for anyone and everyone rings true for Treasurer Grant Arbuckle, who notes that he doesn't come from an agriculture background.
