Dixon High School FFA

This week we had the best time at the 97th North Carolina State FFA Convention! We were able to bring 11 students and an awesome parent chaperone with us! We received the Silver Chapter Award, and Cooper Lanier received his proficiency award for his SAE project on Landscape Installation!

We competed in Meat Evaluation, Milk Quality, Food Science and Tool Identification! Izzy Conn had the highest score in Meat Evaluation for our region! We had tremendous success in competitions, learned a lot, had some hiccups, but overall each student walked away having an amazing learning experience!

TODAY is the day! Come visit us at Sneads Ferry Community Center! You will be impressed with all the vendors and goodies that are out here! We are here until 3!

WE WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW!!!

First I want to say how proud I am of our students for rolling up their sleeves and participating. They did a great job and had a great respect for their birds.

Today was Chicken Processing day! Thank you to all the Coastal Plains extension agents and 4H leaders as well as the NC State Poultry Staff that was there to teach us! This was amazing from start to finish. After the students learned how to do it, they got to put that learning into action and process the chickens that they raised and showed yesterday. Then we took 30 harvested chickens to the Food Bank at the First United Methodist Church in Sneads Ferry! Ms. Highsmith even got a look at our finished chickens!

On Monday after school our chicken project participants stayed after school to prepare their chickens. They were washed, dried and fled for the show today. Today we had 10 students compete with the 19 chickens they raised from chicks. They competed in 2 classes. Showmanship and breed class. Izzy Conn finished in the top 10 overall for showmanship in the broilers. Emma Morris finished 3rd in her breed class! Enjoy these pictures of the participants and chickens throughout this process!
