03/09/2022

Arcanum MVCTC FFA members recently competed in the Ohio FFA Farm and Agribusiness Management Contest.  The team from Arcanum placed 2nd overall in the State out of 90 school.   The top scoring members were Caleb Hartman (6th Overall), Madelyn Fearon (7th Overall), Tyler Huber, Luke Brinksneader, Landon Haney, Nathan Wright, and Ellie Fout. The purpose of the Farm Business Management Contest is to provide students with the opportunity to make a practical application of the knowledge and skills learned in the production agriculture curriculum in solving typical farm management problems.  The online written test is designed to test the team members’ understanding of economic principles in farm business management.  The problem solving portion of the CDE is designed to determine the team members’ ability to apply economic principles of farm business management to actual problems and to define the decisions that need to be made.   Team member Landon Haney stated that “it was a great opportunity to represent our school and community and to reach such a high level of success in such a challenging and applicable contest”.
