This past weekend, four Lebanon FFA members traveled to Purdue University to compete in the Milk Quality and Products Career Development event, placing highly amongst other Chapters in the state.
The event was open to both 4-H and FFA members and is designed to equip youth with valuable skills in the dairy food industry. Participants of the event were tasked with identifying cheeses, detecting off-flavors in milk, problem-solving issues, analyzing milk fat content, performing a California Mastitis Test and completing a knowledge exam.
The Lebanon FFA team was able to showcase their skills by earning a sixth-place finish in the State, which stands as an accomplishment for the team as the event stood as their first time competing in the competition.
