One last hurrah for the year!

The Muscatine FFA was well represented today in Ames on the Iowa State campus for a couple of State CDE Contests.

The Meats Judging Team earned a 3rd High Team Overall! Every member of the team was in the top 16 overall individually! Coen Navarro 5th, Carson Schroeder 10th, Finley Torrance 15th and Sam Potter 16th. They quality and yield graded cattle carcasses, placed classes of carcasses, wholesale and retail cuts, and completed an ID of 25 retail cuts listing species, primal, name and cookery. All team members had perfect scores in their formulation quiz!

The Ag Mechanics team (Nathan Scadden, Josh Koch, Will Leavens) claimed a Gold rating in the state ag mech contest. As part of their rotation of stations, they participated in some welding, electrical work, worked on machines and took a test.

Special thanks to Buds Meats, HyVee Muscatine, Fareway Muscatine, Dave Tometich, the Ag Learning Center and everyone else that helped us prepare!

A few members of the Meat Judging crew had a nice little "tune up" this past weekend at the contest hosted by Edgewood Locker and Iowa State.

Coen Navarro was high individual overall and Sam Potter was 2nd right behind him! Carson Schroeder rounded out the team. Together, they were high team overall.

This crew, along with some others, are gearing up for the state FFA meats contest in about a week!

On Tuesday, May 5th some of the horse and livestock judging crew headed to a Ottumwa to compete in the Gold Buckles, judging contests.

The goal was to learn and prepare for the upcoming state contests and we certainly learned a lot!

Susan Clark Junio High Middle School student Bailey Danner was 8th Overall Individual in the Livestock contest.

The horse judging team (Robin Paglucia, Savannah Finley, Jaylynn Goddard, Mady Wyatt, Gianna Rizzo) was 7th overall team.

Thanks to everyone that worked on setting up, hosting, scoring, and bringing animals in.

🏆More State Champs!

Back on the cool rainy day of Monday, April 27th (yes, we are still catching up) Muscatine FFA took 2 teams to go compete at the State Envirothon contest held at Jester State Park. During the contest, they gave a team presentation on non point source pollution, answered questions about current hot topics in natural resources and environmental science, and rotated through stations on aquatics, wildlife, forestry, and soils. They might have even got some mushroom hunting in while waiting.

The Muskies The Fishes team (Colton Ineichen, Nathan Scadden, Lily Barnard, Sam Potter, Randy Stanbro) earned an 11th place finish.

The Muskies Seniors Plus team (Corwin McDonald, Josh Koch, Kaden Miller, Dylan Randel, Coen Navarro) won Aquatics and Wildlife and was named the FFA High Overall Team! This earns them a chance to compete at National FFA in Natural Resources!

Congratulations to the crew!
