How is it already the end of Quarter 1?! The Class of 2027 is officially 25% DONE with senior year! 🎉


National FFA Convention Road Trip Day 1: Our first stop was at Unverferth Manufacturing. Unverferth makes grain carts, fertilizer spreaders, augers, and more. We were able to walk through their facility and see all phases of the manufacturing process from machining, powder coating, assembly, welding, etc. Then it was on to Calmer Corn Heads Inc., where we met Marion Calmer, a self-made millionaire who has spent much of his career modifying and inventing farm machinery, including the world's largest corn head. Marion showed us how much farm technology has advanced in the last 100 years and explained the inner workings of a combine. We also had an opportunity to compare his "smart corn" variety (a short-statured corn hybrid) with traditional tall corn. "Smart corn" supports higher planting populations and reduces the risk of stalk lodging.
