3 GTRA FFA members competed at District Soils CDE in Sioux City. They’ve been learning about soils in Plant Science class and were able to apply their knowledge. They were able to receive feedback from soil professionals that they can share with their class. They were tested on general knowledge, characteristics of soil horizons, and features of soil pits.
Members competing were Madisen Fay, Taylor Krull, and Josi Reiman.
Only a few were able to escape successfully from the scientific method classroom. Many students continued to work on escaping throughout the day. Here are yesterdays science winners.

Students from GTRA, Spencer, and Okoboji at NoBo's official Launch event went successful! Students are excited and ready to work in groups with communities and businesses to work on solving real needs.
GTRA FFA officers (not all pictured) had a couple events this summer to help prepare them for the upcoming year:
Chapter Officer Leadership Training (COLT) was held at Dordt University allowing officers to connect with peers from other chapters in NWIA while learning from District, State, and past officers around the state about how to be a quality leader in their programs.
We also held a chapter officer planning day where students explored leadership traits within their team and planned out a year of fun events for members.
We are looking forward to a fun, eventful, and successful year of FFA!
