Hillsboro Great Oaks FFA Chapter 

This year at the 2026 Highland County Fair, 136 members of the Hillsboro Great Oaks FFA submitted soybean plants for their Junior Fair projects. Leading the chapter's success, Lucy Reno earned 3rd place overall in the soybean competition, while Riley Gallimore took home 1st place with his sweet corn entry. 

Inspired by this year's fair theme, "In Full Bloom," a group of Hillsboro Great Oaks FFA officers gathered after school on September 4th to design and set up the chapter's booth. Demonstrating great creativity, each officer and advisor designed their own unique flower or plant display for the exhibit.
