Fennimore FFA

06/18/2026

This week, our members had the opportunity to attend the 97th Wisconsin State FFA Convention! Fennimore FFA had many members recognized for their hard work and accomplishments throughout the year.

Day 1,
We kicked off the First General Session with Kenzy Everson participating in the Flag Ceremony. We also had two Proficiency Award finalists: Reid Stalsberg and Matthew Winch. Reid earned 2nd place in Vegetable Production, while Matthew was named the State Winner in Dairy Production. During the final session of the day, Bree Stalsberg was recognized for placing 3rd in the Middle School Essay Competition. Our Middle School Quiz Bowl Team also earned 3rd place in their competition. In addition, the Fennimore Agronomy Team was recognized on stage for earning 1st place and qualifying for nationals!

Day 2,
On the second day, five Fennimore members competed in the High School Quiz Bowl and narrowly missed qualifying for the Top 4. Many of our students, alongside members of Dodgeville FFA, helped run the FFA Buck Auction. Fennimore was also proud to celebrate three State Degree recipients this year: Keely Everson, Eden Richter, and Dalton Linneman. These members earned the highest degree awarded by the Wisconsin FFA Association through years of dedication to their SAE programs. After the final session, members enjoyed attending the convention dance.

Day 3,
On the final day, Fennimore FFA was recognized with a Silver Rating for our National Chapter Award Application. We were also recognized for our Food For America program. Former Fennimore FFA President Eden Richter was also recognized for her outstanding service, earning the prestigious 3 Star Leader Award. Throughout the convention, the State FFA Band provided music for the sessions, and Fennimore FFA member Dalton Linneman did an outstanding job as a percussionist.

This is a great way for members from across the state to come together, recognize each others achievements and make new connections! We can't wait for next year!

🚌 STATE QUALIFIERS 🚌

Our High School Quiz Bowl team competed at the Sectional LDE Contest at the beginning of March. Unlike previous years, when Quiz Bowl had no qualification process, this year scores were recorded and compared across all sectional competitions! Fennimore qualified for the state competition by dedicating time to increasing their knowledge of all aspects of FFA and agriculture.

🥇 Agronomy Team – 1st Place!
Not only did they take home the championship, but they dominated the competition with a margin of over 150 points and are headed to compete at the National Convention! Agronomy is a competition that tests students on their identification of plants, their disorders, conditions, and other general agronomic knowledge. Out of over 100 participants from across Wisconsin, this is certainly a moment to be proud of!

🌾 Individual Results 🌾
Reid Stalsberg – 3rd
JP Scanlan – 4th
Bree Stalsberg – 7th
Mike Bruner – 18th

Way to represent Fennimore with excellence—we can’t wait to see what you do at nationals! 💙💛
