FAIRBURY, Ill. — Bright yellow and blue FFA banners hang across a Prairie Central High School hallway. The walls feature about 170 plaques commemorating state wins for the school’s FFA teams over the years. And, banners earned by a dozen FFA school teams act as stylish wall art.
Winners of the 2022 National FFA Dairy Judging event stand in their high school hallway in Fairbury, Ill. which is a tribute to state and national winners who went before them. Ellie Ellis, Hannah Miller, Grace Lemenager, and FFA advisor Becky Freed have already won the state FFA competition and will be heading to nationals in November, hoping to bring home another national banner. Absent from the dairy team champions is Carla Kilgus.
