John Deere Ag Expo was a huge success this year. We had about 20 Red Lodge FFA members compete. Our Vet team took 5th out of 50 teams and our Poultry team took 2nd in the state! Along with a lot of individual success. The top placing FFA members from each competition were: Andrew Espanald from Ag Mechanics with 27th place, Stella Hahn from Horse Judging with 46th place, Bailey Binando from Poultry with 10th place, Shaye Salt and Hailey Neibauer from Vet Science tied for 14th, and Brooke Binando from Livestock with 75th place. A vast majority of the students who competed in John Deere Ag Expo will go on to the state competition in March.
