MULBERRY GROVE - We are thrilled to announce that the Mulberry Grove FFA took first place in the non-professional category at this year’s Bond County Fair parade! This achievement truly reflects the hard work, creativity, and community spirit that our FFA students poured into the float. The theme for the 2025 FFA float was "Hunting for FFA Members," and it was exciting to see our vision come to life and be recognized by the community.

Students had the opportunity to attend the 2025 Farm Progress Show, largest outdoor farm event in the United States and North America. At the show, they explored a variety of areas within the agricultural industry and learned how farmers benefit from each type of business. Additionally, students were able to see the latest modern technologies and innovations that are helping the agriculture industry better serve both producers and consumers.

Section 19 Horse judging- 6 students attended horse judging in Shelbyville. Those students were Allyse Blankenship, Connor Hartmann, Jesse Sturgill, Myah Huhn, Becca Revelle, and Allison Hemker.

Students observed and judged four halter classes; two mares and two gelding classes. Students also had to place two riding classes; horsemanship and western pleasure. The team placed fourth overall, Allison Hemker placed 8th, Allyse Blankenship placed 14th, and Becca Revelle placed 19th individually.

Section 19 Land Use- 5 students attended the Land Use CDE hosted by Kaskaskia College. Students attending were; Jesse Sturgill, Allison Hemker, Becca Revelle, Mackenzie Harnetiaux, and Adalynn Lawrence. 

Students had to observe 4 pits; 2 homesite and 2 agricultural pits. They had to examine soil color, texture, slope, erosion, if the ground is suitable for a homesite, or prime farmland and various other bits of information that pertain to soil. The team placed fourth overall, Becca Revelle placed 12th and Allison Hemker placed 19th individually.
