State Convention 2017

 We had another great convention this year in Brookings in both the competitions and learning opportunities.  Our Quiz Bowl team won first place and will be competing again at the State Fair over Labor Day weekend.  Andrew and Cassidy also became the first SBA students to receive their state degrees.
 The Ag Mechanics team placed 8th out of 52 teams and Andrew finished 1st individually winning a Build Dakota Scholarship.
The Livestock team placed 14th out of more than 60 teams and finished a very successful year in this popular competition.  
 We also try and have some fun in between the sessions and competitions.  SDSU hosted some tours on campus and some of the students got to see the new cow-calf research area.  We always go and check out the Dairy Bar for quality control purposes.
 My camera ran out of memory space at convention, however, there are more pictures to come as we get pictures off of other cameras.

 We broke ground on the swing-set project this week.  "Maxwell" our tractor has come in very handy!
 Here are some construction pictures from Paulson's, where we are building it the set.
 Our CDE teams did well at Bowdle with Ag Mechanics placing first overall, Livestock placing second overall, Horses placing third overall, and our floriculture student placing in the top ten individually.
