The Tippecanoe Valley FFA soils team has been very busy this fall competing in numerous different contests.

In mid-September, the team won the county contest. The following week the team competed in the Area 10 contest, which was held at Ransbottom Farms just east of Claypool. The team placed 1st in the contest. Cora Alber placed 2nd High Individual, Raymie Shoop 4th High Individual, and Carissa Ziemek 6th High Individual. Hannah Gibbons was the other participant to make up the team.

The team advanced to state, which will be held Oct. 14th at Vincennes University. Tippecanoe Valley also had three other teams that competed that were 10th, 12th, and 14th out of 34 teams.

The teams are coached by Tippecanoe Valley FFA Advisor Michael Jones.
