Two individuals from the South O’Brien FFA Chapter competed in the NW District Ag Mechanics contest.
The contest consisted of identifying tractor parts, wiring a two-way switch, calculating concrete volume, soil conservation, and stick welding.
At least three are needed for a team score, so the members were scored as individuals. John earned a Silver rating and Eliot a Bronze. This was the first time for either member to compete in this event.
Puhrmann commented, “I’m only in eighth grade, so I haven’t had all of the shop classes yet. But I would like to try and get a team together to compete at state sometime. I thought this would be a good way to see what the contest is all about.”
