On Tuesday, September 15th, the Falls City FFA Chapter attended Husker Harvest Days in Grand Island, NE. The Chapter arrived around 10:00 am and met back at the bus at 2:00 pm. The chapter paid the way for students who brought in cans of food for a local donation. In total, the chapter brought in 160+ cans to donate. We will be donating the cans to the local “Little Free Pantry” on Stone Street. Members learned about agriculture and participated in agriculture-related activities. Some members participated in a grain bin rescue simulator where they had to help another student escape the bin. Students can learn a lot about career opportunities in the agricultural industry. Students were allowed to speak to representatives from nearly 600 companies and learn about what the companies did or plan to do in the future. These companies included: Massey Ferguson, Polaris, Fontanelle, Case IH, John Deere, Hoegemeyer, Chevy, Ford, and hundreds more. Booths at this event often showcase new technology and their products of the highest quality. Students can see how agricultural innovations have changed in the last few years. Everyone came home with plenty of new items they picked up on their adventures such as bags, pens, hats, and many more items.
