Stanley County FFA students who qualified will be competing at the State FFA Leadership Development Event competition on Sunday, December 4th, and Monday, December 5th in Pierre.
The Marketing Plan Team qualified for the state contest by placing second at our District 6 FFA contest. The team comprised of Spencer Sargent, Rachel Nemec, and Gabriella Pinela will be presenting their Marketing Plan for Dakota Limits Hunting business. The Marketing Plan contest consists of students taking an existing business in their community and preparing a plan to help that business grow taking into consideration their clients, the services the business offers, and current industry trends to further promote and expand that business. Students conduct a SWOT analysis and review the business’s past marketing strategies and prepare a presentation and portfolio which are then judged.
Grace Sargent will be competing in the Extemporaneous Speaking contest which she qualified for by placing 3rd at our District 6 FFA contest. Students participating in “Extemporaneous Speaking” are given an Agricultural-related topic and thirty minutes to prepare a speech using only printed articles which the student prepares ahead of time and brings to the contest before they are given their speaking topic.
