Hillsboro FFA members compete in ag sales contest
Lead Summary
By
Mallory Parsons-
On Feb. 20, four members of the Hillsboro FFA chapter competed in the district ag sales contest.
The contest was held virtually at the Hillsboro High School, and the participants in the contest were Hannah Hopkins, Trinity Edenfield, Alexandra Magee and Ryan Mau. These members spent weeks before the contest learning about their products and practicing their presentations.
The team first had to take an online test in order to compete in the event. This year, the team was tasked with selling livestock gates to evaluate how well the members can sell a product. From matching customers’ needs and wants to building rapport with the customer, the team had plenty of preparation to do for the contest.
These four FFA members placed third in the district competition, and Ryan Mau placed fifth overall in the district competition individually.
