James Stone, SAU Honors College student poses with his awards
James Stone attended the 83rd National FFA Convention in Indianapolis recently. He's an agricultural education major at SAU and an honors student. He and three others represented the Delight (AR) High School FFA team. James tied for first place in individual poultry judging but lost a random tie breaker and was awarded the second place prize. Still, that prize yielded him a $1500 scholarship.
The judging required contestants to evaluate or grade carcasses, live birds, and cut up parts. They also had to justify their grading orally, complete a written exam, and participate in team activities. Stone attributes his success to his teacher, Mr. Reggie Lamb, and to the support he received from people in Delight and Magnolia.
