It was an un-FORE-gettable day at last week's Michigan FFA Foundation/Michigan Corn Golf Outing! It's great to connect with our friends, judge the "Red, White and Birdie" Team Spirit Contest and offer our annual Hole-in-One competition.

Unfortunately, no one took home the $25,000 prize for a Hole-in-One. But congratulations to Herbruck's Poultry Ranch, 2026 Team Spirit Competition winner! Who knew patriotic chicken shirts existed?!

This afternoon’s visit to PG Orchards gave our State Officer Team a firsthand look at Michigan’s vibrant fruit industry. From orchard management to seasonal labor, technology, fruit storage, nursery management and market trends, students saw how growers balance tradition, innovation and stewardship to produce high‑quality fruit and nursery products for consumers across the region.

Thank you, PG Orchards, for sharing your expertise and giving our officers a deeper appreciation for the growers who make Michigan agriculture so special.
