Lead Summary
By
Riley Stratton-
This year, the 93rd National FFA Convention & Expo was held virtually Oct. 27-29. During this year's convention, seven Hillsboro FFA members received their American Degrees. 

The Hillsboro FFA members receiving their degrees include: Lana Grover, Kirsten Harp, Emma Parry, Larkyn Parry, Brennen Priest, Michael Rose and Jordan Williamson. 

As the highest degree achievable in the National FFA Organization, the American FFA Degree shows an FFA member’s dedication to his or her chapter and state FFA association. It demonstrates the effort FFA members apply toward their supervised agricultural experience (SAE) and the outstanding leadership abilities and community involvement they exhibited through their FFA career.

American FFA Degree recipients show promise for the future and have gone above and beyond to achieve excellence.

All of these members were very involved in the Hillsboro FFA chapter and did a lot of positive things.

Each one of these members also had an SAE. Lana Grover’s SAE was diversified livestock, which included goats, lambs, hogs, and cattle. Emma Parry and Larkyn Parry both had the SAE of beef breeding and market cattle. Brennen Priest’s SAE was exhibiting beef, and he also had a variety of job placements. Michael Rose’s SAE consisted of corn and soybean crops as well as agricultural job placement. Kirsten Harp’s SAE was that she worked at Starlite Dairy. Jordan Williamson’s SAE was she works at Starlite Dairy, and she also exhibited hogs. 

These individuals excelled in their FFA activities and community service. Earning this degree takes extreme time and effort. These members have had a net income of $10,000 through their SAE programs, donated more than 50 hours of community service and participated in various leadership activities. 

Congratulations to all who have achieved the highest honor awarded in the FFA.
