Burlington FFA Member Named Finalist in Star in Agricultural Placement Award

Tue, 26 Jul 2011 10:05:00 CDT

The National FFA Organization has selected 16 finalists, including one from Oklahoma, for the organization's top awards: American Star Farmer, American Star in Agribusiness, American Star in Agricultural Placement and American Star in Agriscience. Seth Hankey of Burlington, Oklahoma, and the Burlington FFA Chapter was selected as a finalist for the Star in Agricultural Placement award.


These star awards recognize students who have developed outstanding agricultural skill and competency through their career development programs, demonstrated outstanding management skills, earned the American FFA Degree-the organization's highest level of accomplishment-and met other agricultural education, scholarship and leadership requirements.


Each star finalist receives $2,000 from the National FFA Foundation and earns the opportunity to participate in an international experience tour to Costa Rica. A panel of judges will interview the finalists and select one winner for each award at the 84th National FFA Convention, October 19-22, in Indianapolis, In. Winners will receive an additional $2,000 award.


The American FFA Degree recognition programs and tours to Costa Rica are co-sponsored by Case IH of Racine, WI, DTN - The Progressive Farmer of Omaha, NE; Farm Credit of Greenwood Village, CO; Pioneer Hi-Bred, a DuPont Business of Des Moines, IA; and Syngenta of Greensboro, NC, as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. "Stars Over America," a special audiovisual presentation featuring the star award winners, is produced by USDA Farm Services Agency as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.
