Attala County Farm Bureau continues its support of the local Future Farmers of America Chapter by awarding official FFA jackets to those pupils who could recite the FFA Creed and demonstrate adequate knowledge of the organization’s history, emblem, colors, code of ethics and officer duties.
To earn their Greenhand degrees, students displayed their knowledge before a panel of judges consisting of Attala County Farm Bureau Board President James Rasberry, FFA supporter Ms. Renee’ Kendris, City of Kosciusko Alderman Henry Daniel, 2012 Attala FFA President Allison Neyman and 2014 FFA President Hannah Hodge. These judges also interviewed each officer candidate to evaluate his or her ability to speak clearly, solve problems and lead peers.
Students who successfully completed the Greenhand requirements included Alexis Powell, Alexis Rimmer, Trey Johnson, Takeria Clayton, Brianna Keith, Madison Rosamond, Katie Wilkerson, Emily Trehern, Hunter Hood, Alyssa Wade, Kristin Roby, and Jayla Gibson. The 2016-17 Attala FFA Officers are Kaelin Wright President, Trey Johnson Vice President, Jakeria Williams Student Advisor, Mark Stewart Sentinel, Kristin Roby Reporter, D’mechriea Landfair Treasurer, Johnathan McMillan Secretary, Cody White Parliamentarian, and Jayla Gibson Historian. The Kosciusko-Attala Career Tech and Attala FFA commend the judges and Attala Farm Bureau for tremendous support of the local agricultural youth.
