On Tuesday, Jan. 24, both of the Hillsboro FFA business classes and other chapter members took the online exam for grain merchandising.
The top members were Ashley Kimball, Caiden Fauber, Abby Miller and Ben Remsing. These four members went on and competed at the state level on April 4.
Overall, the team placed third in the state competition. Kimball placed fourth in the state individually.
“I've participated in this competition every year since my sophomore year, and I've learned a lot from taking this test,” Kimball said.
