National FFA annually recognizes FFA members who rise to the top with the American Star Awards. These members have gone above and beyond in their attitude, involvement, community service and supervised agricultural experience. Finalists for these awards have mastered skills in production, finance, management and/or research.
Josie Russell, President of Simpson County Technical Center’s FFA (Future Farmers of America- sponsored by Patricia Braddock), received awards for the District and State Star in Agri-Business. Star awards are given at the district and state levels. Applicants must have been selected as a star winner from the previous level in order to advance to the next level. The member must demonstrate outstanding achievement, active FFA participation and an exemplary scholastic record. They must also show outstanding achievement in an entrepreneurial production agriculture SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experience) and active participation in the FFA. Josie is well deserving to obtain the Star in Agri-Business for her outstanding achievement in entrepreneurial agribusiness.
