HISTORY MADE AT NATIONAL FFA CONVENTION!
Put your hands together, #PointerNation! Joey Robinson is the NATIONAL CHAMPION in Agricultural Mechanics Repair and Maintenance – Entrepreneurship Proficiency, becoming the first National Proficiency Champion in Mineral Point FFA Chapter‘s storied history! Joey began his project by changing engine and hydraulic oils, coolant, fuel filters, air filters, cabin air filters, and greasing all machines at A and R Farms. Robinson also runs his own business, where he repairs and restores parts and agricultural machinery, sometimes reselling parts for profit. Through his Supervised Agricultural Experience, Robinson has gained knowledge in billing and finance, time management, and entrepreneurial adaptability.
Luke Schubert is a Top Four Finalist in the Nation in Fiber & Oil Crop Production! Luke’s SAE is based on his work on Schubert Farms with the soybean crop. Luke performs many duties on the farm including tilling the soil and planting the crops. He runs combine and grain cart in the fall as well as helping to run the grain storage unit.
Our State Champion Meats Judging Team (Luke Schubert, Cameron Patterson, Aiden Patterson, Michael Edgington) received a Silver National Rating and all were Silver level as individuals, too!
The group also visited the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and participated the tradition of kissing the bricks.
Congratulations to all on a memorable National Convention — you make #PointerNation proud!
