The Okawville FFA placed at the Ag Communications Career Development Event. On December 9th the Okawville FFA Chapter competed in the Section 22 Ag Communication CDE at Waterloo High School. Ag Communications starts with a team of four. Team members take a test covering communications, journalism, and editing. They also completed an editing exercise to identify and correct mistakes in a news article. Members also attended a press conference where they had a chance to hear a presentation and ask any questions they may need to develop their graphic design, news stories, and broadcast.

Two members competed in Writing, which is developing a story about the interview. Hannah Liske placed 7th and Kevin Koch placed 10th respectively. In Broadcasting, Lauren Heckert placed third. This consisted of creating an advertisement or press release based off the interview and recording it. The Marissa FFA won the competition and was Okawville in 5th.
