A Mercer County High School junior has won a district FFA competition.
Peyton Knapp was selected as a District FFA Proficiency Winner in Specialty Animal Production.
Illinois FFA recognizes students in forty-eight different areas based on their work-based learning, also known as Supervised Agricultural Experiences or SAE. FFA members who demonstrate outstanding agricultural skills and competencies through record keeping, leadership, and scholastic achievement may be considered for the award.
Knapp spoke with WRMJ this week.
Receiving the honor makes Knapp eligible to compete in the State FFA Awards Selection process in Mt. Zion on March 21.
