ELKMONT BAILEY CRUTCHER IS A DISCUSSION CHAMPION

 

November is the time for the annual Limestone County FFA Discussion Meet.  A FFA discussion meet is a contest that consists of a group of 4-5 FFA members discussing a current AG related topic. Each member has a 30 second opening statement that is said in a voluntary order at the beginning of the discussion to open up your thoughts on the topic, after each student has said their opening statement you go into a 10-12 minute discussion about the topic and at the end of the discussion each member has a minute to write down a closing statement that ties everything together after that minute each student, again in voluntary order recites their closing statement that should be one minute long. 

The first round of the  meet was November 20. Twelve contestants from our county schools competed in the first round. Half of the top eight moving to the second round are from Elkmont; speaks well of our FFA program.
