Over the 2022 summer your local FFA chapter was up to a lot! We had a sweetcorn fundraiser, where we supplied fresh picked Webbers Falls’ sweetcorn to our community for the Independence Day Weekend. It was a HIT and we intend to make it a yearly event! Alll of our livestock show kids worked with their show animals in preparation for fair season. On July 9th, Mr. Scoots Hames from Tuttle, OK, came to our ag barn and did a showpig workshop. 15 kids attended the workshop, and we would like to think: Waldron Farmers Co-Op, Poteau Farmers Co-Op, and The Cattlett Brothers feed store for their outstanding support in this event.
Now that school has started back, FFA members have started working in the barn to make sure that all the animals are going to be all prepared for shows. We had a very successful day on August 26th, with the Calloways coming and trimming cattle hooves to get us all set for the show ring! We are excited for this school year and ready to see what all we can accomplish!
