FFA Members Compete in Record Book Competition

This past Thursday, 19 Eureka High School FFA members took their Record Books to Princeville, IL, to have them judged at the section contest. FFA members that competed were as follows: Drew Bauman (Jr.), Matt Grimm (Soph.), Katherine Syndram (Jr.), Evan Zimmerman (Sr.), Brad Krumholz (Jr.), Samuel Cottrel (Jr.), Abbey Knapp (Soph.), Amber Leininger (Soph.), Ellynne Vance (Jr.), Dylan Woolen (Soph.), Tyler Bell (Soph.), Josh Robinson (Soph.), Rebecca Kuperschmid (Soph.), Jeremy Daugherty (Sr.), Gavin Arvin (Sr.), Seth Schumacher (Jr.), Jodi Blunier (Soph.), and Dan Leman (Sr.).


The National FFA Organization is made up of three critical areas: FFA, Lab/Classroom work, and Supervised Agricultural Experiences (this would include Record Books). Record books are a way for a high school FFA student to keep track of their financial standings during their high school career. There are two different types of Record Books, Entrepreneurship, in which the student starts their own business (i.e. A mowing company or a beef production operation), or placement, in which the student works for a specific company.

At the section contest students are individually interviewed by a panel of judges about their Record Book, and what it entailed. Dylan Woolen, Josh Robinson, Rebecca Kuperschmid, Dan Leman, Drew Bauman, Katherine Syndram, and Samuel Cottrel won their proficiency area and will be competing at the district competition on March 16th, in Geneseo, IL.
