π¬πΎ FROM WYOMING TO THE NATIONAL STAGE! πΎπ¬
π§‘π€ TWO AMAZING BURNS FFA MEMBERS. ONE BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT. NATIONAL RECOGNITION! π€π§‘
Help us congratulate freshman Amelia Holmes and Rylie Vetter on earning a BRONZE EMBLEM at the National FFA Agriscience Fair! π₯πΊπΈ
These two outstanding young ladies took on an important real-world issue: antibiotic resistance and its impact on agriculture, animal health, human health, and our food supply.
Modern medicine relies heavily on antibiotics, but as antibiotic-resistant bacteria become more common, protecting the effectiveness of these treatments is increasingly important. Amelia and Rylie explored this issue and the connection between antibiotic use in livestock and the health of animals, people, and our food system.
Their hard work and dedication earned them STATE CHAMPIONS at the Wyoming State FFA Convention this past spring, and now they've taken that success to the NATIONAL stage! π
Think about that for a minute⦠These are freshman members already conducting meaningful research, tackling real-world agricultural challenges, and representing Burns, Wyoming, among the best in the nation!
π₯ THIS is agricultural education in action! π₯
We couldn't be prouder of Amelia and Rylie and the time, effort, and curiosity they've invested in this project. This is an incredible accomplishment, and we can't wait to see what these two accomplish next!
π§‘ Excellence. π€ Pride. π§‘ Tradition.
