Unionville-Sebewaing Area Agricultural Education and FFA

10/16/2026

First of all, I'm so excited my phone is working to post again! So much to catch up on...

On Tuesday, our Intro to Ag students traveled to Bad Axe and the surrounding area for soil judging. They were able to analyze the different types of soil in our county and determine the best practices/uses for that soil type.

Congratulations to our top five winners!
1st place Luke Vermeersch
2nd place Morgan Armbruster
3rd Place tie between Abby Reithel and Madisyn Kellogg
4th place Austin Findlay

Very proud of our hardworking students!

Special Thank You goes out to the many sponsors who help make this day possible and to Don Wheeler, Clark Brock, and Stephanie Krohn for all of their work coordinating this.

Does anyone have a Unionville FFA jacket they would like to donate to the chapter? We are working on doing shadow boxes to hang up in the ag room. We have a Sebewaing one, now we just need Unionville!

Keeping learning fun these last few weeks of school as we learned about forms of animal ID and how ear notching works in pigs.

USA FFA Greenhouse Sale this Friday 3-6pm and Saturday 9-6pm! 🪴 🌿

Please come and support our students and purchase some of the plants/flowers that they grew!

This is our biggest fundraiser for the FFA Chapter. Due to a tough climate lesson, we are not on track to raise enough funds to keep us going throughout the year. All proceeds go into the chapter and is used for the students for jackets, contests, materials, and trips.

*PLEASE READ*
This is a hard, but necessary, update to write. Our Plant Systems class has been hard at work since the beginning of March. They've been planting plugs, hanging baskets, and starting vegetables. Things were growing GREAT, until we had a tragic climate accident two weeks ago. We were able to take this accident and turn it into a positive learning experience. After many tears were shed, from Advisor and students alike, we have been able to fully assess the damage now. We lost over 200+ hanging baskets and over 150 flats of annuals, perennials, and most of our vegetables. The plants that were not lost, received damaged leaves. It was our intention to open the Friday and Saturday before Mother's Day, but our plants need another week of growth. We had so many new plants this year and even more hanging baskets! We were planning on a $12,000 plant sale this year to support our students, but unfortunately, our biggest fundraiser will not be able to fulfill our needs for the chapter because of the accident. The money that we raise is used to purchase FFA jackets, pay for contests, workshops, and materials for hands-on ag education. Our greenhouse will be open for our plant sale on Friday, May 15 from 3-6pm and on Saturday, May 16 from 9-6pm. We do still have about 40% of our hanging baskets, patio pots, and annuals that survived. Please stay tuned this week for updated pictures of current plants.
