We have had a busy week in the Valley with several FFA events. On October 8th OV hosted the Section 16 Land Use Contest on the farm of Stan and Kathy Tipsword. We really appreciate Stan and Kathy allowing us to use their property for this annual event. A special thanks goes out to Cotner Farms, Danny and Beth Cotner for offering us the use of their farm and shed for parking. Additionally, Danny was gracious enough to dig all of our pits for the contest.

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to Andy Brantner and Tammy Clayton for judging the soil pits and providing the meal for everyone. We really appreciate this as both individuals took their own personal time to help out the students during the government shutdown.

Finally, congrats to all the FFA participants on a great job. OV hosted 90 students and teachers at our event and put on a great contest. Special shout out to Kaya Forlines for finishing 9th overall.
