The Hillsboro FFA also had two members participate in the Tractor Rodeo contest. These contestants were Joe Rudy and Spencer Rudy. During the contest, the members had to drive a garden tractor connected to a wagon through a specific obstacle course. The contestants are judged on speed and safety techniques. Joe Rudy won second in his division. Spencer Rudy participated and said, “It was a great learning experience, and I had a lot of fun.”
