A DeWitt County FFA Advisor is highlighting all the accomplishments of her students in 2025. 

Blue Ridge Schools FFA Advisor Jacalyn Meisner indicates that this year's FFA State Convention in Springfield over the summer featured a lot of success from her kids, knowing they were a national finalist and sitting in the top 10 percent of chapters. She says they have now been recognized as the premier FFA Chapter in Illinois. 

Achieving that recognition is no small feat. Meisner explains that chapters must apply and then complete 15 required activities to be eligible. Chapters then present nine of the activities to be judged on. 

The Illinois State FFA Treasurer, Kaydance Wooton, hails from the Blue Ridge Chapter, which Meisner says is a big honor. She adds that it has been great to have her as a role model FFA-er.
