CDE COMPETITION … This Career Development Event (CDE) is an extension of the Agricultural Education classroom and laboratory. Additionally, this CDE serves as an authentic assessment designed to evaluate students’ knowledge in recognizing and repairing malfunctions in agricultural and/or industrial power equipment. The skills Agricultural Education students employ in this CDE are the same skills required by agricultural and industrial technicians. On January 26, members of the Delta FFA chapter took the online exam for Ag Power Diagnostics. The team consisted of six members: Jacob Schlatter placing 49th, Layton Fisher placing 80th, Talon Nation placing 123rd, Greyor Doxtator placing 183rd, Ethan Wilson placing 487th, and Elwin Griewahn placing 572nd. The two members that traveled to districts were Jacob Schlatter and Greyor Doxtator. Districts were held at the Sherwood Redline on February 10. After a long competition, the two competitors placed sixth out of 10 teams. Congratulations! They worked hard and did their best. Pictured above are Greyor Doxtator and Jacob Schlatter.
