Allison Kolbe is a freshman member of the East Sac FFA Chapter at East Sac County High School. She is the daughter of Doug and Larrette Kolbe of Sac City.

1.) Why FFA?:

I am an FFA member because I enjoy agriculture and everything that it has to offer. I get to meet new people and get new learning opportunities. I know FFA will teach me the skills I will need in life.

2.) FFA project:

I have done livestock judging many times and have received second at my county fair twice consecutively and competed at state placing fourth two years ago

I have also gone to state for the greenhand quiz at state and got fifth place and received the star greenhand degree from my chapter.

3.) I’ve learned:

I took a class that my school offers called Intro to Ag. It teaches students about FFA and everything it has to offer.

I have learned public speaking skills and more about the careers I am thinking about going into.

4.) Career path:

I was sure at the beginning of the year that I wanted to be a beef nutritionist, but now I realize food science is fun, too. Now I have more options and realized other things I would like to do.

FFA is helping me to gain more knowledge about the career paths I am thinking about.

5.) College plans:

I am planning on going to Iowa State University or South Dakota State University.

6.) FFA acvtivities:
