More than 20 agricultural teachers and college professors from throughout the U.S. recently met virtually to determine which FFA members and teams will compete for top honors in the 2023 National FFA Agriscience Fair.

Matthew Gossett of the Lynchburg-Clay FFA chapter has been named a national finalist this year for the Fiber and Oil Crop Production Agricultural Proficiency Award.

Agricultural Proficiency Awards honor FFA members who, through supervised agricultural experiences (SAEs), have developed specialized skills that they can apply toward their future careers. Students compete in areas ranging from agricultural communications to wildlife management. Proficiency awards are also recognized at local and state levels and provide recognition to members exploring and becoming established in agricultural career pathways.
 
This award is supported by Corteva Agriscience, Kubota Tractor Corporation, Tractor Supply Company, Valent USA Corporation, Wilbur-Ellis Company, Bayer, Nutrien Ag Solutions, Claas of America, Agzaga and Sustainable Futures Fund.

The National FFA Organization is a school-based national youth leadership development organization of more than 945,000 student members as part of 9,163 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
