This week, the Area 13 FFA Fall Public Speaking Contest was hosted by West Plains.
Students in grades 9–12 prepared and presented 6–8-minute speeches on a variety of agricultural topics.
Licking FFA was proudly represented by freshman Avery Buckner, who competed in the Missouri Teach Ag category. This year’s topic focused on the challenges agricultural educators face in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Contestants were required to interview a current or retired ag teacher and incorporate insights from that interview into their speech.
Public speaking is a challenge for many, but Avery stepped up and took on something difficult and intimidating—and we couldn’t be prouder of her! She’s already looking forward to participating in next year’s Fall Speech Contest.

Greenhand members recently welcomed Missouri FFA State Vice President Maddy Rash, representing Area 13.
During her visit, members took part in a variety of engaging activities centered around the Three Circle Model of Agricultural Education: Classroom Instruction, FFA, and SAE (Supervised Agricultural Experience). Through these activities, students explored their goals for their time in FFA, brainstormed ideas for SAE projects, and discovered new interests related to their agricultural education journey.
👟Cross Country traveled to Plato last night for the Frisco League meet and took 2nd place. We missed the championship by just a few points but we are still so proud of how well these kids ran. In the top 15, Tyrone Merdian placed 5th, Caleb Barker placed 8th, and Dawsynn Moore placed 12th.🖤🧡
