The A.B. Graham Ohio Hi-Point FFA chapter placed fourth in the state in a state-wide exam which tests students’ ability to apply economic principles to agricultural businesses.

Students who participated in the Farm and Agribusiness Management Career Development Event took a 90-question test over economic principles related to business management, risk management, and the use and analysis of records to manage resources, according to FFA advisor Dawn Wallace.

“It is a great accomplishment for our students to be able to compete and assess their knowledge level against their peers across the state,” Wallace said.

The event requires teams of four to collaborate to produce a final written or oral report as well as an individual written activity, according to National FFA Organization’s website.

The four team members’ scores plus the team activity score count toward the team’s total score on the exam taken April 9.
