Striegel to Serve as AFA Campus Ambassador From What Cheer, Adam Striegel is motivated and determined to make a positive impact on the world. As a sophomore at Iowa State University studying agricultural education and agronomy, he is off to a good start. From leadership positions to internships, Striegel pursues experiences that set him apart from his peers and prepare him to pursue his dream of being a voice for agriculture. Most recently, he was selected as one of 17 Campus Ambassadors for Agriculture Future of America. AFA is a leader and professional development organization for collegiate leaders and young professionals. Providing leader development, intern support and scholarships, AFA seeks to be a catalyst in the preparation of a new generation of agriculture leaders. Striegel and his fellow team members serve as liaisons between AFA and their college campuses and AFA’s corporate partners. “AFA has played a critical role in my development as a leader in agriculture,” he said. “Through my AFA involvement, I’ve learned valuable skills, met with industry representatives and made meaningful connections with the best and brightest minds agriculture has to offer. AFA has helped accelerate my education and professional image to what it is today.” Striegel and the other ambassadors were selected through a competitive application process to serve as AFA’s student voice. Striegel says he is looking forward to his experiences with the team. “I am excited to work with my team this year to promote AFA and the programs it offers,” he said. In addition to serving as a liaison between AFA and their respective campuses, the Ambassadors will assist the Student Advisory Team in delivering the 2014 AFA Leaders Conference. Held Nov. 6-9 in Kansas City, Mo. Striegel’s entrance into the AFA leader development program began when he was selected as an AFA Leader and Academic Scholar. Since then he has attended two Tracks of AFA Leaders Conference. In addition to his involvement with AFA, Striegel has also been active in other organizations including the Iowa State University Crops Judging Team, Block and Bridle, Student Federation for Agriculture, Collegiate FFA, the Agriculture Education Club, ISU Corn Growers Club, Iowa Corn Collegiate Advisory Team, Alpha Lambda Delta, Phi Eta Sigma Honors Fraternity and Alpha Zeta Honors Fraternity.

Sigourney FFA Member Receives Star Award By Sigourney FFA Chapter Reporter, Allison Schroeder This year the Iowa FFA Association held its 86th annual Iowa FFA Leadership Conference in Ames, Iowa on April 27 - 29. At the Conference there were 686 Iowa Degrees earned by FFA Members from across the state. The Sigourney FFA Chapter had eight of those members receiving this honor. The Iowa Degree is the highest degree the State Association can bestow to a member. To achieve this degree an FFA member must: Be a member of the FFA for two years, completed at least 360 hours of Agriculture Education, earned and productively invested at least $1,000 or worked at least 300 hours in excess of scheduled class time, demonstrate leadership abilities of performing 10 procedures of parliamentary law, give a six minute speech about a topic relating to agriculture or FFA, serve as an officer or on a committee, and obtain a C or above average. The members from the Sigourney FFA Chapter who received their Iowa Degrees included: Jordan Carter, Adam de Regnier, J.C Dumont, Blane Long, Becca

There are six finalists chosen from across the state in four different areas: Agricultural Placement, Agriscience, Agribusiness, and Agricultural Production. Drayce was chosen as the Southeast District Finalist in Agribusiness. At the Iowa FFA Leadership Conference, Drayce was interviewed by a panel of judges and was selected as the Star Over Iowa in Agribusiness out of the six finalists, at the fourth and final session of the Iowa FFA Leadership Conference. Drayce’s Agribusiness included raising meat rabbits, feeder pigs, and sweet potato slips, to sell at the farmer’s markets. Drayce relies on niche commodities and markets to obtain the highest return on his business. He started his rabbit business with four breeding does and has since increased to thirty. Drayce started his sweet potato slips in a small patch and has since increased production by building raised beds for them.
